Link to the Corvette Rubber Co. version of the halo weatherstrip. I got mine through Vettenuts, have not had the weather to try installation yet. Does not quite match the OEM, particularly at the corner radiuses, but feels pretty good. I plan to take a couple of side by side photos, but am out and about for a couple of days.

Dont know what you paid for it?
I would be very interested in the fit and Quality? As mine are also due for replacement.
Their are a lot of these Rubber weather strip MFG out their made in the USA,
Many are very worried about Fit and quality and are ready willing and able to make adjustments to their products IF and When they can get a end user to work with them.
I have even sent Old Unobtainable originals to a mfg to have custom seals made before.
Steel products is one of those mfg that will work with a builder/restoration guys, (Just have to talk too the right person on the phone)
If the seal is not correct let them know they can make adjustments to the molds.

His price of $199 was sufficiently less than CRC's own price that shipping cost was more or less covered.
Also in that different thread, I noted that I had contacted Steele after seeing others note that some Steele weatherstrips had Metro trademarks molded in. Steele indicated their halo weatherstrips are from an outside supplier, but that the supplier is not Metro.
