I really need new weatherstripping...ive already used silicon..its so bad ive decided to replace it....i know thirdgenresource.com has it, but its 250!!! and more if i want the door panels too....i was wondering if anyone knew anywhere cheaper..i would be very happy to find something less than 250 new..thanks

 

yea i need it too but like you said 250 bucks is just a little pricey for me but it's the only place i've seen it around so far but i haven't been looking vary hard.

 

i've priced it around and can't seem to find it any cheaper. why is it so damn expensive?

 

i'd like to know that too maybe because it's so rare of an item how many other cars do you know of besides ours that have t-tops... okay vetts that's all i can think of... but still 250 that's a little much!

 

www.gmpartsdirect.com

Its GM part number 10164133. It's an 8 piece kit and goes for $175 plus shipping.

The only bad thing its that they charge $35 S&H.

So $210 for the set. Also it says it only works for 82-91 cars, you might want to call and see if it will work if indeed you have a 92.

 

awesome..id much rather buy from gm directly..thanks..can i just go to a chevy dealership and buy there????

 

you can do that but you wont get it for GMPartsDirect's price. You might want to print the page off and see if they price match to the $210. When i bought parts, i took the printed list to them and the matched it to the price (including shipping).

 

I bought the Soff Seal kit from Summit for my IROC. It cost $300 (GM was $150 at the time), but it fits perfectly. I didn't even cement it in, and I have no leaks.

BTW, if you don't need the full 8-piece kit, you should be able to get just the t-top gaskets for $150 from GM.

 

still kinda pricey but 210 is better than 250+ and i agree i'd much rather get it streight from GM.

 

oh...also wondering...does gm sell the door weatherstripping too???if so..anyone know the part #??..thanks(im looking for the pair-both doors- )

 

i'm sure they do but i don't know the part # if i knew how i got my center caps the last time i could tell you i don't know if they would have it listed on a web site or what but you can try checking there.

 

GM Part Numbers

20350900 & 20350901

$91.40 each from GMPartsDirect

I would go with these...

It's $55 for the PAIR, 10 year warranty, and exact fit. Its not GM but its a helluva lot cheaper.

 

THOSE ARE FOR THE DOORS. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE T-TOPS.

 

Relax, man. If you read 92camaro's post about 5 posts up, you will see he asked for the "door weatherstripping".
I checked on the site and I cant find anywhere if it is for the pair or each. Still, 55 is not bad for door seals with a 10 year warranty.

 

SORRY MAN, I DIDN'T REALIZE SOMEONE ASKED ABOUT DOORS. THAT IS A REAL GOOD PRICE ANYWAY.

 

it's the pair, look at the picture

Good call, Josh. I didnt enlarge the pic the first time. Looks like I will be placing an order soon.

 

got mine from the dealer for like 175. It was just the large piece that wraps around. Havent put it on yet, too cold.

 

how hard is it just to put the silicon around them for a temp seal and how well does it work?

 

This is a good place to get weather stripping, they are perfect fits.

ok...just repaired my weatherstripping...water free!!!!!!....my dad and i applied silicon on top of everything...not too much..we put a lot on the t-top seals..and the seals around the t-bar..then..my dad has a sealant that looks like duct tape..its thicker..and looks just like a flat stripping..my dad used it for sealing fridges and stuff..real cheap stuff..we applied it ON TOP of the weatherstripping everywhere..it looks pretty good...matches the old stripping..black...water free..cost a couple bucks(we had the stuff already) and i saved 350 bucks ..(so far) real happy..anyone have any more questions...let me know..we also covered the screws on the t-bar witha black putty like paste...i was told this would help with the water dripping in the back seats...we put the car through 2 washes and so far real good

 

My 83 is leaking and I want to get it fixed before I put the new interior in. Give some names and prices and good details if you dont mind.

 

92 you got any pictures? I have replaced my T Top weather stripping and it still leaks like crazy , I was going to do the silicone trick next. this stuff you put on 'top' of your weather stripping sounds like it would look ghetto... can you still remove your T Tops?

 

it does not look ghetto at all..it actually looks stock if you do it right..sorry no pics...but i can prob get some...we put silicone and that stripping is used for wrapping leaky pipes..(my dads works on piping and stuff like that)...its basically a sealant that looks identical to weatherstripping...yes..everything fits fine..i had a major leak today...but found out my door wasnt closed ..its fine now..major storm down here in florida

 

hey if you could make a tech artical out of it do a step by step thing on how you did it and the supplies you used if you don't want to do that e-mail me and tell me how you did it. thx i really need mine fixed before i get a new headliner.

 

my t-tops leak where the front corner meets the windsheild frame and the window... do i need t-top seals? or do i need new door seals?

 

if i know where you are talking about...it is a triangular seal..i didnt replace it, but rather put silicone in it..this messed up my door...i shouldve let the silicon dry...umm...i had the same problem....MY solution was the t-tops weatherstrips..and the t-bar strips..which we did our little project on..that fixed it...i can't guarantee thatll work...if you want to be safe, just go to a car wash..sit inside and trace where the leak is coming from..try to fix that exact spot..if you need to replace a piece.... www.thirdgenresource.com has a large selection on stripping..if you want to save your money, read above at what i said...oh and ill try to make a tech article, but i have school and work all day, so its really hard, but i should be able to do it this weekend...if you guys have any more questions on the install, just email me at eastcstbdybdr@yahoo.com or IM me at EastCSTBDYBDR44 im always checking email..so ill reply and be able to give more detailed info..hope i helped..if not, more than willing to help...cya

 

i wanna know how easy it is and how to do it with just silicon as a quick cheap easy fix and how long does it last and how well does it hold up. someone plz tell me.
