Targa weatherstripping
Anyone use this set for the sides? GM wants $250+. Sounds like kind of a lot for a nonmoving part made out of rubber. I don't want to buy one that is going to fall apart in 6 months either, though.

I bought a pair of those last year, unwilling to pay $180 per side to GM. They are identical to the OEM. Most likely made by the same vendor using the same mold. At $99 per pair, can't go wrong. Great service from Corvette Central as well.

I bought the after market ones from MA but found the quality to be very, very poor. They did/do seal after I had to readjust the windows and so on, but really bad quality...however, a lot cheaper than the OEM

MA is Mid America Motorworks...mamatorworks.com I paid $99 for the pair but again, poor quality. I wrote to them about the quality but they did not respond. Hopefully they are talking to the supplier. Even $99 is too much for two small pieces of rubber. GM's price is off the deep end, essentially ripping us off.
and i would have to replace all sealsaround the top, every bit is peeling
