Default Weather stripping

Ok this may have been asked before hopefully I am asking in the correct section. So I am needing to replace my weather stripping and looking for what brand or which ones are the best without braking the bank? I have seen some on eBay it not sure about the quality. Any help please.

If you buy cheaper, you will buy again making it more expensive in the long run.

If you try a search in this and in C4 General you will find many that bought cheap and it either did not fit well, caused door/targa issues, or just didn't last long at all.
I've had my CRC in for 2 years now and it's still like the day I bought it.

Also, I use this once a year on all the weatherstrip of all of my vehicles.

I made the same mistake, bought the $300 kit from Amazon. Didn't fit well, doors wouldn't close, rear hatch was 4 inches too long and targa wouldn't fit...

Went to ZIP-Corvette & Ecklers and bought the US-made stuff.
Will be working on it this weekend, so fingers crossed.

Does the Gummi Pflege help keep the glass and top from sticking to the weatherstripping?

I can also vouch for corvette rubber. Just installed rear roof piece and rear hatch. Top notch.
