Weather Stripping for front Windshield

Anyone know where I could purchase the weather stripping for a 2004 Base corvette? I have tried all of the major suppliers.

Try, try as you may and when one is found let the rest of us GM drivers know as they've dropped us all in the stuff.

The top rubber for the windshield is discontinued and is nonexistent . Lots of people are waiting on an aftermarket replacement that works.
Are you sure that's what you bought ?

100% sure I was shocked too. I forget what part number I got but it’s in another thread.

The windshield molding part number 10333466 is discontinued. That's the part that's needed to install a new windshield and some shops like my local shop do not want to reuse the original molding. I spoke with Corvette Rubber last year around November and they are in the process of making this mold. I emailed them first week of August this year to get an update and they said they were able to do some demo test but still need to make some modifications to the molding. They didn't give an estimate when it will actually be available to buy though.

🤔Should we, as a group, ask Mary for some help? Dose she have any clout?

just to clarify this is indeed the incorrect part and is used for the bottom instead. It quite literally looks identical to the top seal material and pattern.
