I got original gm from hawks, great, and since its not after-market it fit perfect.

Hawks; $449.00 plus shipping

Jennings Genuine GM Parts; bid of $353.99 plus shipping

Kind of a no brainer. Yanno? And just for the record. I have had NOTHING but excellent experiences dealing with Jennings. Super fast shipping!

GM OEM replacements are available. That's what I put into my IROC after blowing a couple hundred on the OER imitators that Classic Industries sells.

Soffseal also sells t-top replacement seals along with a host of other fine weather stripping.

I just bought replacement Weatherstripping from Metro. Looks like a good product. 15 year warranty. Haven't installed it yet.

I bought my full replacement from soff seal but I have been told that steel rubber is the best by far. Prices and quality even though I was originally led to believe soff seal was best. I like what I got in my package deal but it really comes down to what you want to pay or if you are willing to wait for a better deal.In the end I would go with steel rubber now.

gm was made by another company...

i have soffseal on all my cars, works excellent and is the exact dimension and replication to the gm pieces in weight, color, texture, everything.

hawks and similar places often charge way too much for their products so shop around. i bought my soffseal direct but i've seen them on ebay and other places.

don't buy from a middleman unless they are a large distributor. it's rediculous to pay someone like hawks 10% or more just for finding and calling a company for you.

Where? and how did it fit and seal?

In response to Jeff, I have found that buying from a 3rd party can be actually cheaper. I called SoffSeal for full car pricing and it was hundreds more than buying from Eckler's. I can probably find the same stuff elsewhere for less than Eckler's. I haven't decided on the SoffSeal or GM yet for my car. I asked SoffSeal why they were more than a reseller and they stated that they are a manufacturer and prefer dealing with companies and not individual sales.

I ended up ordering GM, not here yet, hope it works. Duct tape looks like hell.

KITT1983 · 10-18-2009, 07:36 AM

any updates?

KITT, which pieces are you looking for? Some of our stuff (T-Top seals in particular) are available in OEM GM.
