Default '68 Door Seal Help

All,

I need help ID'ing the weatherstrip/seal that is between the top of the door window and the door trim panel. It runs the top of the door and mine has deteriorated. I have check the assembly manual to no avail.

If anyone could help me get the name of this strip or even where to buy a replacement pair for both doors, I would appreciate it!

Shu

I bought my weatherstrip from Wilcox. It was made by Corvette Rubber. Very happy with the quality.

Yes, the Eckler's part is what you are looking for. Goes between door panel and glass on 68 only. 69 and up that piece is part of the door panel.

That,s the felt seal that is between the top of the door panel and the inside of the window.
Is that what you were looking for?
You can get these most any where. I bought a set from Corvette Central that were OK. Not great but OK.
