Replace weatherstripping

Good morning.

I'm going to be replacing the weatherstripping on my 93 Vette around my targa top as I have some minor leaking.

Any tips on best way to remove and install new weatherstripping? Or any instructions on form or other places?

Thanks.

Do a search or scroll through the back pages. This gets discussed about once a month at least, and I think there was a thread within the past week.

Just make sure you hae some one big to sit on the targa top after you replace the weatherstriping or you will never get it back on.

The targa does fight you a bit at first until the new stuff compresses down for the first time. And do spend the extra cash on GM weatherstrips....you will thank yourself later. The aftermarket stuff sucks. This is one place you do NOT want to scrimp.
