Hi av,
You need to ask whose weatherstripping they are selling to know if it's worth the money.
Many folks feel that the weatherstrip Corvette Rubber manufactures is a good choice.
Willcox often has it on sale.

Alan

I am a fan of using the LATEX weatherstrips. Price is not the issue...but for me and what I install on my customers Corvettes is what works best and does not cause me to have issues in installing it and its performance AFTER it has been installed. The choice is yours and I believe that Corvette Central sells the latex. I get mine form another suppler that is not a Supporting Vendor so I do not want to put their name out and have it pulled by the Forum moderators due to conflict in interests.
I do agree..Corvette Rubber is a good company and I am not knocking them....I just do not like their products in certain areas of the C3's.

I would rather have better weather stripping , my car is no show car I probably will sell it when its done and get a nicer one but still I dont want wind noise or leaks in the mean time...I saw the price at $199 it was pretty cheap so it caught my eye lol , Wilcox list a set but says "these are imports" not sure if that means junkola

If you are selling the car...then I am sure cost will be factor. Because the latex is not going to be that inexpensive.
I am not afraid of parts that are imported....Heck just a both everything is. It has to do with how good the part is that is coming in from overseas.
And just because a part is made in the United States...means nothing....because it all boils down to how well they are making that part also.
