Don't buy the least expensive kit, you get what you pay for.....Ecklers offers them individually. Call the sales-person and ask for the better seals.
Try soff-seal. I had good luck with them, too

YIKES!

Stay away from Ecklers!

Corvetteworx here on the Forum has some great deals on the same weatherstrip as Evil Ecklers carries. Wilcox is also a great and reasonable company to work with. It is CRC brand and pretty much everyone carries it. There are two different qualities (warrantys) of the product and it's probably better to spend the extra bucks which would probably make your next set free.

As far as "correctness" I think CRC is pretty good but you might want to check "Soff Seal" as I heard they were going to be making Corvette weatherstrip.

STW!

I agree big time. The original set I bought turned hard within a year(bought from a major vendor)...I had to strip it all off and start again. The 'corvette rubber' brand is also very good.

Corvetteworx sells Corvette Rubber......that is the best brand. Just contact Scott at Corvetteworx and he will hook you up....

Don't settle for anything less than the best when it comes to weatherstrip.
