Default Weatherstripping

In the past I've seen reference to one of the better vendors or manufacturers to get weatherstripping from as opposed to getting it from one of the catalogs. However for the life of me I cant remember the name. Could someone please furnish me with the best place to get weatherstripping from?
Thx ESU

When doing mine, I was referred to Corvette Rubber. I purchased the complete vehicle set from Willcox and it worked perfectly. From what I found, Willcox had the best price. I know they get bashed occassionally, but I have only had good experiences.

Good luck,
Dino

I got mine from Wilcox also, they were the cheapest, shipped fast and all the stuff had the "CR" stamp on it...(Corvette Rubber).

Seals well, no leakys.

I did have to add some extra weatherstripping in the door edge molding(window edge rubber, the hockey stick) to build it up so it would seal well against the rear of the glass. NOw I get no wind noise coming in at all.

THx,, corvette rubber was the name I was looking for but willcox it is. They have the best price for my bilsteins also. I've been buying certain items form them for years and never had a problem, they even matched a few lower prices from other vendors.
