Default Replacement seals!!!

Where is the best place to get replacement seals for my baby. I need seals for both sides of the targa top and the long seal in the back of the targa top he runs from door to door. The seals that run down the from windshield for each door and the seal for the front window that goes on the shroud for the wiper blades.

For OEM stuff, try either Gene at gmpartshouse.com or www.partstaxi.com. Both have good prices.

There weren't many vettes produced as compared to all their other models and there is a cost associated with each item you keep in an inventory.

Of course, for what they charge for these particular weatherstripping you could have each one watched over and hand delivered by a certified Ninja.....just saying...

Yeah. I don't know why some rubber molding company hasn't jumped on that and under-cut them. Its a thousand dollars to re-do the main part of the cabin.
