Got mine for my 73 convertible from vettepartsplus.com out of Georgia. Quality and fit was very good. It is made by CRC. ( at least it was two years ago when I purchased mine.) Price was reasonable.
Regards,
Jimmy

Hi B,
From what people report I think a good choice is weatherstripping made by Corvette Rubber Company. (CRC).
Various vendors sell it including Willcox.

Alan

Hi Alan,
You are right Alan about CRC being a top choice. They supply it for the vendor I listed above. Added the info as an edit.
BTW, I'm sorry I didn't get the opportunity to meet you at Carlisle. I did get to meet Don L. He did say that you usually stop by his location for a visit. Maybe next year.
Regards, Jimmy

Hi Jim,
I was at Carlisle on Wednesday and Thursday and left Thursday afternoon without seeing Don… I don't know if he'd arrived yet or not.
Maybe next year!
Regards,
Alan

I used Steele Rubber, from NC. It is probably the best quality weatherstripping available, in my opinion. They have all the door, window, and T-top rubber. They don't have the rear removable window rubber. I used CRC for that one, and it was fairly ill fitting. I did make it work, but not easily.
