Re: Weather stripping (86shark)
I went to Gordon's class for C4 owners at Bloomington. He says that the 95/96 wetherstrip will fit all C4s and is of superior design. Buy it direct from GM and you will not have the problems associated with vendor rubber or from the 84-94 design. I would assume that GM also sells its own adhesive. :)

Re: Weather stripping (86shark)
I thought I read somewhere that you do not use adhesive in the rear. The yellow goop from the factory is grease????? I just used the grease from the old one when I replced mine.

If you're just trying to buy some more time from your already deteriorated weatherstrip like I did, gluing down the ends won't hurt anything. :thumbs:
