i bought aftermarket t-top weatherstrip but didn't keep water out of the car so i want to buy new GM weatherstrip. GM are more expensive but there are better than aftermarket.
can someone tell me where I can buy GM weatherstrip ?
I bought my GM 8 piece t-top weatherstrip kit from Hawks. I believe it was $500. I haven't installed it yet since my car is in the shop getting painted now, but it better work well for that price!

my kit from Hawks was clearly labeled as a GM made product also. I think they sell an aftermarket manufacturer's kit for $250

Some sites may need to update the web stores.. as the GM kit that was used.. # 10164133 has been discontinued by GM for some time now.. it was the BEST kit.. without a doubt..
If some of the resellers have some NOS.. BUY IT.. The 8 piece GM # 10164133 on the box and the seals are Canadian and labeled that way.. Go the extra and buy that kit.. you will not regret it. GM has disc'd parts of the kits contents.. the actual Top's side seals or tracks.. can't remember which .. but the main seals # 10198209 & 10198208 are still available .. so if Hawkes has some left.. that is a great price.
I used another 8 piece it on the market and its not noticed till you go to put them on .. but the actual seals around the top were molded too small.
I would recommend Hawks thirdgen if you're looking for the 8 piece kit. I bought all of the weatherstripping new from a dealership a few years ago except for the roofrail pieces. I just recently ordered those pieces from GMPartsDirect.com.
i bought my weather strip from softseal also pretty expensive but so far it has been very good. they have a lifetime garantee. know lots of people who have also used it and no probablem
it seems to me interessting because i just need the both side body mount t-top weatherstrip.
While we do not directly ship outside the US, we do have a shipping partner who does if you are still interested. PM me if you need more info.
