Has anyone bought replacement weatherstripping from Corvette-america or mid america ? or any other vender for that matter Wondering about quality as opposed to gm seems to be big price difference

I would bet they are all made by the same supplier...reason being the molds and other tooling to crank out the product are extremely expensive to fabricate; also the very limited market prevents more than one player in this game...which also explains the super high prices for these components...best to keep your current rubber in great shape. I started a thread on this recently...if you want to see all the posts do a search... total cost to do the car was well over $1500.

Order it thru Gene. You're not gonna beat the price from him. I need to buy the piece that goes around the halo or B pillar or whatever you want to call it,thanks to the previous owners neglect.
