I have an 88 and will have to check but if memory serves it's held in place by one (or two) screw or fastener.

Had a water leak on the pass. side of my 91 because of that seal and looking at the price they want for them found it rather hard to pull the trigger on a set of new ones. Had some household type door foam weatherstripping, (sticky on one side kind), cut to length & applyed over the bad seal and it worked like a charm.

Bought mine from Corvette Central for my 87 coupe. Been fighting with them for almost 2 days, the fitment kinda sucks. The screw hole in the center of the weatherstrip doesn't line up with the hole in the chassis. Two screws and a push in fastener at the bottom,
