Update to Weatherstrip question.
After someone on this fine forum suggested i contact the people at Corvetterubber.com, i got some of my questions truly answered. Seems they ship their product to other distributors for Corvettes. They were very helpful in my concerns and i found they shipped the product and worked in the manufacturing side of thier business. He told me the best i could do is to go back to GM and get what i could but it would be pricey. When i was ready to order from them he would personally find me some pristine pieces to put on my to be show car. Now that to me is good customer service. There are not different grades of weatherstrip, just the way it is manufactured and the different materials used by GM and aftermarket.

Buy GM, everything else is lower quality.

Answer to last poster
the person i talked to at Corvette Rubber was very knowledgeable and concerned about my needs to get a decent(not perfect by all means) set of the weatherstrips i wanted and he was working in the shipping dept and said he would personally got through the weatherstrips he has to find some good ones. On their web page you cannot beat their prices and are from the looks of things cheaper than most. i liked the hands on approach rather than someone sitting at a computer and taking orders over the phone, never caring what is being shipped to the customer-just another customer i can get money from. Looks like these people here strive to make sure their customer is satisfied rather than send out STUFF good or bad. I will order from them when i get my money back from the last place of business.

I had a problem with a Willcox weather strip and posted here. He called ME and did everything he could to make it right and it is now. This was the A pillar piece he spent well over an hour with me on the phone answering my questions and looking at the pic I posted. He personally picked the new strip out for me and never even required me to send the old one back. His tips ensured my new instal was flawless. That is what I call customer service.

I bought a dash pad for my 59 from Wilcox. Talked to Ernie Fry at Wilcox. He spent 45 minutes telling me how to install it and what to expect. Told me to call back if I had a problem and he'd walk me through it. I have since bought parts from him and will definitely continue to do so in the future. We need guys like him in this business.
