Are there aftermarket gaskets available for under the middle portion of the rear spoiler? Not called gaskets, but I'm blanking on what they're actually called. I've looked without any luck. Thanks!
----------
GM calls this an insulator, it goes under the front edge of the center spoiler section on the convert to keep the water from going under the spoiler and into the trunk. Also called a gasket, filler and seal.

I need it too. Mine is there but shrank about 4" in length over the years.

I need one too Spoiler Insulator P/N 12331868

I need to locate one also! The one on my car has drawn up on either end.

mikeiaz

u won't find one - here are 2 options:

1. coat the underside of the front lip with thin silicone sealer, spread flat and thin, let dry then mount the spoiler

2. 3M (and maybe others ) makes a wide, clear plastic adhesive "body protectant" film (various widths) - get a roll, trim a piece to fit the underside of front of spoiler, stick on, put spoiler back on

camarodriver15

sorry i didnt pay attention i came across this searching for those and thought thats what you needed my appologies

I am currently repainting my 87 'vert and its spoiler "gasket" was creeping all over the place too so we are using Fender Welting that is for older cars. Looks the same, has a little longer lip but it is covered up by the spoiler anyway so you never will know. Just some info from someone else that is trying to make it right again.

I purchased what is called extruded P-seal rubber which is what ASC seemed to use from www.elasostar.com its pretty inexpensive and easy just slit every two to three inches so that it curves. I used my old one as a template.

Where did you purchase that from? The link provided is dead.

chazman

iTrader: (4)

I've been looking at different fender welting for that purpose. Any way you can post a picture of how your's turned out?

chazman

iTrader: (4)

Got it! http://elastostar.com/products/extru...seals-gaskets/

chazman

iTrader: (4)

Just an FYI, I contacted Elastostar. They can make the exact dimension insulator, but they need a minimum order of 100 feet. $175 for tooling and $175 for 100 feet of it, so $350 total


If enough of us are interested it could be done. This might be something for Lon or Hawks to look into. In fact, I should PM Lon.

madness

Chazman, sorry for the late response I was told the same thing about the 100' minimum but I spoke with a gentleman with a heavy foreign accent and asked for a sample and he charged me $ 1.50 per foot. The P portion was solid though not hollow like the link shows. Anyhow the bolts to my spoiler broke again and I took it to my body shop to have the bolts properly glued and they misplaced the gasket. So I'm stuck again without one and when I called I got the same message about a minimum order? There has to be some place that has it in stock?

chazman

iTrader: (4)

It sounds like we talked to the same guy. Last week he said I needed a 50' minimum. Today it's 100'. BTW, the bead is supposed to be solid.

Also, he referred me to one of his vendors and I ordered 6 feet of the closest rubber seal. It's perfect, except for the bead which is 1/4" - double the required size.

madness

I just spoke to a gentleman who said I could find some at www.mcmaster.com ? If you go to www.trimlok.com they have one for sale that may work. Its 2199 series and they want $162.25 plus shipping for 250' of it? If enough of us go in on something like that were are looking 8 to 10 dollars each for a 10 foot section if 25 of us go in? I'm looking at the McMaster website first guy said I would find it there?

chazman

iTrader: (4)

McMaster is who I ordered from. I just told him today, McMaster doesn't have the exact size. I'll check out the other one.

chazman

iTrader: (4)

Yeah, that 2199 has a bead which is much too large.

chazman

iTrader: (4)

I ordered a few samples today. Probably smarter than buying 6 feet at a time.

I have a feeling that between madness and myself we'll find something.

That Plasti-Mend looks interesting.

But a proper isolator/welting under the spoiler completes the factory look.

chazman

iTrader: (4)

I have received various samples from various companies. Not quite there yet.

ctoledo0834

Any updates ?

Tootie Pang

iTrader: (2)

I'd be in for a group buy if we need a certain minimum.

Can anyone post a good pic of the material itself? Did some searching didn't find anything.

Here's P-Seal. Wouldn't be surprised to find some at a local hardware store

I still have the part under the center of my 92 Trans am vert if anyone needs a picture. Like every other one, mine has shrunk as well

Out of all the samples I've gotten, I think this is the closest. The solid bead is not a "P seal", but I'd imagine it would work. The width would have to be trimmed a bit.

Tootie Pang

iTrader: (2)

What do you mean by trim the width?

Tootie Pang

iTrader: (2)

And if someone could post a pic that would be great.

chazman

iTrader: (4)

From the front of the bead to the end of it. Off the top of my head should be 3/4 of an inch, but this one is over an inch. It probably would fit under the spoiler without anyone knowing though.

chazman

iTrader: (4)

I've got a used one. I'll post pics later.

ctoledo0834

Put me down for a group purchase if we get one done.

Put me down for a couple if we do a group purchase.

I recommend neoprene rubber, and cut my own to fit. I used .093 thickness. They used to offer samples for $10 shipped, but no longer. 36" x 36" sheet will cost $34.
