I just picked up a set from Ecklers and their price was the best and service very good. Received them on Friday, took about 9 days (I'm in Ontario Canada). Good luck.

I just installed them this weekend. Quality was fine and it came out great.

I started using the 3M yellow adhesive -- I did ok with it but the yellow color too risky for my taste. I went with a different brand that was black for the rest and it came out fine.

Cheers,

Crunch

I bought a complete set for my '80 at a really good price, with no delay or problems: CORVETTE RUBBER in Cadillac, Michigan, phone 1 888 216 9412. He's got it all, and ya gotta give some of your business to the small guys!

I wasn't happy with a weatherstripping set for my convertible top I got from one of the better known suppliers so I did some research and heard a lot of good things about this guy too. Much happier with the quality of Corvette Rubber's weatherstrip.

Bought a set of T-top w/s from Corvette Rubber. I could tell the moment I opened the box it was a superior product.
I'm happy with them

I ordered som from corvette rubber, and it didnt show up, turns out they had my name wrong, and UPS held the delivery....

well, I called them up, they called UPS and released the order the next day. Good parts and good service, just make sure they spell your name right

Just so no one is confused

Got mine from ZIP. It fit well and has been in use for two years now. No problems. Yes do use the black insted of the yellow. Much easier to hide.

Well I called them and ordered it today! Great guy to deal with over the phone. I'll let you know how I turn out. Thanks for the advice - I don't know what I would do without all the great advice I get from you guys!
