Rear window leak on 74
Have been looking for the rear window seal for my 74 and can't find one. It is leaking a bit and want to replace. Anyone know where i can find one? Or is it just cauked in?

Mine was just cauked in. You can either remove it (easier said than done)and do a better job than the factory or use a small bead of silicone in the area outside between the window and the body.
I put a removable window in mine.

I bought a kit(from either Zip or Corvette America) that came with the butyl tape and some primer for the surfaces. Also came with a piece of wire for cutting the old seal which I didn't need, mine just sort of fell out one day while I was driving. Took a little time, but really no big deal. Good luck.

I don't think anyone makes a kit. You could try and get the setup from a corvette graveyard, find someone parting out a 68-72 or buy the pieces on ebay (that's what I did).
I think the total cost was about $200. Best 2 bills I spent on the car.
Besides the window, here are the parts you need.
Hope this helps
