Maybe I'm partial because I live about 15 minutes away from them, but I bought all of my weatherstripping about a decade ago from ZIP Corvette. It's held up great so far. I kept it lubricated with silicon, and it spent about 6 years parked outside everyday before I was able to garage it and it still looks brand new.

I used Soffseal weather stripping when I replaced all my weather stripping including the T-tops. Great product, easy to work with. I see that they have been bought by a company called Alp, but I guess that it is still called Soffseal? . No clue how that quality is now. GL

A quick Google search and it appears everybody except the bodega on the corner sells the stuff, Summit, Jegs, Ecklers to name a few. The only company website I found was under construction. If anyone has used their stuff, please join the fun.

Well let me tell you from experience make sure you get from a company that others have tried and proven. I bought a kit from ebay, they looked beautiful very good quality but didn't fit worth a crap. Too hard and too thick in some spots.Sorry couldn't find the vendors name
