Default Weatherstrip repair & Radio ****

Two things I could sure use the group's help with:

1. How do I go about fixing this weatherstrip? Is this a replace thing or a pull it out and glue it back in thing?



2. I'm missing the volume **** on the stock radio. I've purchased two replacements now - one from Ecklers, one from Corvette Central - that had the inner metal sleeve but absolutely do.not.fit. over the shaft. Did I just get bad ones, or is there a better source?

Thanks!

The strip needs to be replaced. Maybe try some strong epoxy to hold the **** on.

That's what I thought. Hopefully there's a kit.

The **** has a metal sleeve that fits over the shaft. The ones I bought have that metal sleeve that is too small to fit over the shaft. Glue won't help...and I'd hate to have to get it off if it breaks again

Ahh, I don't have a factory radio. I was going to find one to bring it back to stock with a new bezel.

So you could send me your factory deck and you'll never have to worry about that **** again
