Default Weatherstrip advice

Can anyone recommend which weatherstrips to buy for a 72 coupe? I pretty much need all of them. Past experience has taught me that all aftermarket/repro strips are not the same. Please let me know what brand to get or stay away from. Thanks, Vette Newbie

MN 72 454. Sounds like a good combo.

Im in Anoka so Im only 10 miles from you. Weatherstrip can be had from Zip. You can use the forum to get a 5% discount code by linking to them. Ive heard The Last Detail has good pricing/quality. Ill need some for my doors eventually this year as the ends are a little brittle.

You can also go out on HWY65 in Ham Lake to "The Corvette Shop" and Pat can set you up locally. Ive bought new/used parts from him and he is a very honest guy.

P.S. Welcome to the forum.

Brent...

Thank you for the Info. I talked with Tom from corvette specialties in Dayton and he recommended softseal. Has anyone else used these?

Just got mine installed. Bought entire kit from Corvette Central for around $300. I am really happy with the quality, so far. I think the label said supersoft.
