The first thing I did when I got my corvette last spring was to replace the bad weatherstripping. Good project for a rookie, but man is that stuff expensive for what you get! :eek:

:iagree: mine leaks too, but that's becuase the top doesnt fit right after the previous owner left the 2 front screws off and it blew off when he was going down I-10 :crazy:

Hey guess what....

mine leaks too!

Come to think of it, I've never owned a sports car that didn't leak. Must be something about the breed?

Mine leaks in the same way. I just bought the weatherstrip for around the passenger door. Cost to me was about $85. Now all I need is the time to do it or find a body shop that will do it for me.

Previously it leaked through the firewall but replacing the drain tubes solved that problem. Its a struggle keeping the leaks plugged.

Why does EVERY C4 leak?
It seems that after the first
3-4 YEARS of production
the engineers would have
fixed the problem.
Does'nt that pis@ you off?
