you cant replace that part of the seal that is part of your windshield molding meaning it usually has to be replaced when installing a new windshield they are expensive too

That looks like the side window weatherstrip to me. Is that right? That part can be replaced

You may still want to check with VetteNuts and see if they have that piece of weatherstripping - should be much cheaper than $600.

I just checked and the window seal for C5s are $50, not $600. Is this the front windshield or the side window?

I did more checking. Front windshield seal is $80. Most expensive thing I could find was an A pillar windshield seal for $199. Where'd you come up with $600?????

I googled it. Some are asking 600 bucks for the twenty dollar part. What a rip off.

Not a windshield seal. Side window seal.

600 bucks for a weatherstrip? It's robbery. I paid less than that for a new EBCM.

No. I understand it to be the upper side window weatherstrip. Most vendors want 600 bucks for it.

No they don't. Only a few rip-off vendors want $600 for an inexpensive part.
Here's the inner seals for $80 new (and that's for both doors)

and here's the outer seals for $90 (and this is for both windows as well)
http://www.zip-corvette.com/97-04-cp...ter-seals.html

Hopefully, this will get you pointed in the right direction.

And to be fair, the FRC seals are pretty expensive but you have a coupe.
