Weatherstripping

Anyone know a good place to get weather stripping for the doors/targa? Everywhere I've found is looking to cost $400+.

I got a price from Gene Culley at GMPartswarehouse and it was ay over $400 to redo all the weather striping around the targa. I'm going to try to do mine next month.

I got mine at the parts department at a dealership. It was for a 98 coupe I used to have and it wasn't cheap.

I ended up paying $400 for the left/right seals for the targa and the seal for the b-pillar. That's the cheapest I could find.

I don't understand why they're so expensive. Corvette tax I suppose.

I paid almost $900 to have mine replaced. Couldn't find them cheaper anywhere.

I had to replace the side weatherstripping on each side of my removable targa top ($80 each) and the weatherstripping for the halo portion where the targa roof attaches ($149) and the one that seals the rear coupe hatch ($169). All was purchased from the MidAmerica Motorsports catalog. Was far cheaper than other places I found online including...ahem, ahem....forum vendors and has turned out fine.

A lot of the weatherstripping is long and specifically molded so it can be a bit pricey and I'd stay away from used at all costs. Hope that helps...
