Yeah. They are discontinued. Gotta go aftermarket and use a generic one.

I don't know why no one seems to make these. All of the other ones are readily available. I am replacing the back and sides and would like to replace this one too.

I just sent a message to corvette rubber since I didn’t see it on their website. They messaged me and said they are in the process of finalizing the mold for this one. They said they were about a month away from it being finished.

I looked up all those websites you posted they don't have the weather strip. Hopefully Corvette rubber starts to manufacture the part. Mine is torn on the driver side.

Good luck - finding a good quality weatherstripping piece, in stock, can be a chore.
