Just the pieces for a Vert Top (6 pieces, bout 10-12" each) cost enough to rent a beach house for a week...

Check out vendors like Mid-America also - I think they offer three levels of weatherstripping for the C5.

DO NOT EVEN BUY THE CHEAPER STUFF!!!!! I didn't know how sorry the cheaper was at first. I installed a couple of sets on my 88 and 93 C4's and they literally fell apart in 2 months. I called and complained about the trash trim and got them replaced.

Be forewarned !

I also can't believe how much we are being raped for on the OEM stuff. I suspect the guy who set those prices is in the Feds Witness Protection program, OR SHOULD BE!
