Weather Stripping

Hey, today I got quoted at a trim shop for $627 for a weather stripping job. This price includes the door weatherstriping, the t-top stripping, and the liftgate stripping, and labor and tax is also included in the price. Since my '89 IROC-Z leaks all over it really needs to be done before "el nino" comes so does this price sound fair to everyone? I know that weather stripping isn't cheap and it isn't any fun like a new exshaust system or anything so I am going through some very tough times right now (j/k) so can anyone give me their opinion? Thanks. -89IRO

seems kinda high.......i ordered the t-top and hatch off www.yearone.com for about $250 and i did all the work myself. it was pretty easy for a kid like me that has never done anything like that in his life before.

well my weatherstripping was not cracked but after 15 years the stuff got really flat and did not meet up with what it was suppose to and that is why mine leaked
