C-4 Weatherstripping
Hello. New to the forum. Would like to know what you all think is the best supplier of weatherstripping for a C-4 coupe. I see that Ecklers, MADVET and CA all have kits of various types and prices. I am looking to replace all of the cabin/door/window/rear hatch seals. I am looking for best quality at what I hope is a reasonable cost.

I have bought and installed (myself) the door and rear hatch weatherstripping from Wilcox and am very pleased with the service, price and quality of the parts. Their shipping is resonable as well. Give them a call. They have an interesting history too. Willcox used to be a Chevy dealership that now sells Corvette parts.

Wilcox has excellent service and pricing. I recall they resell weatherstrip from Corvette America.
You will find that while the aftermarket weatherstrip is adequate, it simply does not fit as well as OEM. Conversely (and unfortunately) the OEM weatherstrip does not hold up. Kind of a "pick your poison" sort of thing.

I just ordered from Wilcox, not only was the WS kit on forum sale, but they had an additional 10% off.

I really just need to replace it all again. What a waste of $$! Maybe I should go with Willcox next time?
