Replacing Weatherstrip Kit
I want to replace all of the weatherstriping on my 1991 Corvette but there are a million different suppliers out there. Who should I buy from to get the best fit/quality for the $$$$$$

I had my 1991 convertiable done by a specialist in my club. It is extremely tight, you have to to put the windows up before you close the door! Was told it takes awhile to "break in". Same on my neighbors 87 C4 coupe. And both of our cars still leak!! I guess it's part of owning a 20 year old car. I'm pretty sure my guy ordered the entire kit from mid America corvette parts. And it is big $$$ for whole kit. My convertiable has a bad design around top of windows, 3 pieces of rubber so gaps are bound to happen when I put the top up!!

I was very satisfied by forum vendor Zip Corvettes kit. The fit of all the components was excellent and it installed easily. No leaks, now a much quieter ride and the doors close and seal with no problem.

One of the peices of weatherstripping over window fell off, I'm going to take it back to the guy who installed it and see if he can get it right. I also have a back up guy from my club to take a look at it too. I just want my vert not to leak! And I did spend BIG $$$ on the kit!!
