heck both of them leaked for me. . I'll take a rag and run some silicone lubricant over my weatherstripping. Keeps em soft and fresh.

1. call chris may in parts dept. at superior chevrolet for the door moldings and the A-pillar moldings (GM), be sure to tell him you're a CF member and you'll get discounting that amounts to 15% over dealer cost: http://www.superchevyperformance.com/

2. go to this ebay seller for the rest of the moldings (both Metro & Lonestar Musclecar's own version):
http://stores.ebay.com/LONESTAR-MUSC...toreviewQQtZkm

This combination will give you best value for fit, durability and overall cost

Just remember to put on one section at a time, let that section break in for a week or two and you will have less fitment problems!!

Default Weather Stripping

I posted this info before. I bought mine from the Carlise vendor ( from Corvettes at Carlise ) this summer. I paid $290.00 for a complete set. The guys name is Earl Bonenblust his company is "Easy Earl Enterprises".
His web address is easyearlcorvette.com. His phone number is 1-(585-) 455-3279. I hope this helps. I was told to be very carefull if I do it my self because if the addhesive gets on the paint, it`s tough to get off.
Good luck
