What weatherstripping is good?
I used Metro on my 78 t/a and the driver side ttop seal was too damn long and didn't seal right towards the end of it because of it...soo my questions is are they ok for the Vettes?
I was looking to get the side roof seals and the back of the roof.

Well, I've used Corvette Rubber as they seem to have the rubber with the correct composition (like OEM). I will say too that I've had trouble at times getting hold of them - don't know if it is a side business or what. But, the RUBBER is top quality - making the effort to get hold of them worth giving them a try.
Hope it works out for ya!

kinda got in a bind here and ended up buying fairchild off rockauto. the roof strip is half of wilcox (thanks for that), 1/3 of crc, and cheaper than metro. they had good reviews on the 3rdgen fbody forum so we'll see. I am going to get some of that napa silglide just in case of anything.

I have a 95 convertible that needs the windshield roof rubber replaced and found Fairchild to be at a good price.
I checked for it on Wilcox's web site and could not find the part on their site.
I need to buy this rubber seal very soon.
Thank for your input.

it fit great. well worth the price. no leaks. I'd say the others aren't even worth it. the only issue was where the pin holds it to the body, that part is a little thin so it tore.

purchased a hatch seal from http://www.steelerubber.com/ and it was the only one of 4 that did fit properly.
