Weatherstripping
I have been looking for A and B pillar weatherstrips for a bit because they are leaking. I don’t know what company to go with. Any recommendations will help. I have heard good things about Corvette Rubber Company.

Coupe or fixed roof coupe?
Unfortunately, GM weatherstrip is out of production. You may find some NOS, but for many applications aftermarket is all there is.
There are three or four brands, but the CRC you refer to is widely considered the best. I’ve got a’99 coupe, and am using CRC targa edge seals and halo seal. Their seals look and feel quite good, and embedded metal components fit where they should. They do not have pre-applied adhesive as the OEM do, and the outboard “down” legs of the halo seal are about 1” shorter than original, making for a bit of stretch, and less nesting of the aft targa seal into the halo.

CRC produces a good product from what I have read. You can also check with forum supporting vendor VetteNuts and see what they offer.
