Default Weather stripping

Hi i was thinking of getting some new weatherstripping for my 1973 T-top, and i see there are 3- diffrent types, USA EPDM, import EPDM,and latex (although there does not seem to be a complete kit for the latex) none of them say anything about fitment.. which one do i get?? it would also be nice to only have to do it once---

Hi 73,
I agree CRC... Corvette Rubber Company.
Test fit it first, (without pushing the pins in place), and then start the gluing process.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

Originals were latex. CRC makes a good product.

I just replaced the door opening weatherstrips on my '81. They are CRC "latex". They fit perfectly!
