Hatchback seal/weatherstrip
Would someone please run a few photos of the seal/weatherstrip on your C5 hatchback? The seal on my '99 is not glued down at the ends; one bodyman says he thinks they should be, another says he thinks they shouldn't be. And of course, I have NO idea!! Don't know anyone else close by with a C5 I can talk to about it or who's car I can look at. Thanks for your thoughts and photos!!

The ends closest to the doors are not glued down by design.. They are suppose to channel rain water into the hatch drains found in the gutters on the lower half of the hatch area, when you lift the hatch. They do not do a good job.. but they keep most of the water from dumping into the trunk area.

My question in same area. What is the correct name and or part number for seal that rear glass sits in? I'm going to replace glass due to heavy internal snowflaking. Not water stains on outside glass. Used GlasWeld ProClean. Did nothing.
Got quotes to replace glass. I know it's a Low Ball number. Add in new seal(s) and it's $300.00 more.
Thanks for the help.
