i have a ttop and needed the weatherstripping since i got the car but finally have some money. what pieces of weatherstripping do i need.

the list i have so far is:
trunk piece
ttop 8 piece kit
triangle for where mirror is
the pice that goes against the window

what do i need for the doorjamb?

and where is it cheap?

 

i would also like to know where i can get that triangle for my mirrors, its all worn to poop.

 

Check thirdgenresource or hawk's, both sponsors of this site and links up top.

 

The 8 piece t-top kit should take care of covering your door jambs. It'll go up the a-pillar on one side, outline the t-top resting area, and come down the door jamb on the rear quarter panel. There will be 2 sets of these. Then it also includes new weatherstripping for the t-tops themselves. I'm not even sure why it's called an 8 piece set, I seem to recall there being 4 pieces, hrm. Anyways, then the hatch seal should be all one piece as well. There's the rubbers around the windows (I'm not really sure if these count as "seals", I thought they were more cosmetic than anything else), and there should be weatherstripping to go all the way around your doors.

I just finished this very project this morning.(started yesterday afternoon) I got the 8 piece kit from Thirdgenresource. $265 +tax, I drove down from Greensboro, so no shipping. GM has discontinued the kit, so hurry hurry hurry.

The door jams/ T-top is all on piece. On the t-top, you have the actual weatherstrip, the little rubber/plastic strip that hangs off the edge, and the actual bracket that hold the weatherstrip. Times 2 doors, = pieces.

This project wasn't all that hard, but you have to be careful and take your time cleaning the old sealant off. Also, dry fit at least 1 whole side so you can see how everything fits without all the sealant getting everywhere!!! THIS STEP IS CRUCIAL!!!!! Like I said, it wasn't that hard once I could see how everything fit.

Make sure you have a 2" putty knife too. You can use it to help slip the edges of the stripping under the lips of the t-bar, etc.

Like I said...TAKE YOUR TIME!!!!

Mine came out perfect....

 

man Abubaca you always are one step ahead of me. i emailed you about the seat covers. have you had a chance to put them on yet?

 

No, not yet.

I found a few good deals on some other things, so I spent some money ....and I had to pay taxes too, so I'm short on cash this month. On top of that, my carpet came in from YearOne, and it was the wrong color, so now I'm looking at another 3 weeks before I even have the carpet. That kinda takes the pressure off getting the seats done right away.

It'll be soon.

 

And like I mentioned earlier...GM has discontinued the kit, so I'd recommend gettin' one soon. TGR had 2. I bought 1. Classic industries and YearOne are out. I know Hawk's still has'em, because I E-mailed Bruce and he said they had a few.

Aftermarket will have'm soon, but with well over a thousand bucks in the interior, I wanted Genuine GM rubber keepin' the water out.

 

man that is a good deal.. i called this guy today about weatherstriping and they want 600 bucks for everything.. hatch t-tops doors, etc... SIX HUNDRED!!! i told him to stick it up his ***. he wanted almost a thousand to install it.... OUCH and that canadian.

 

i see...so i need to act fast. anyway email me when you get the seat covers installed and let me know how it went. i may think about doing that instead of trying to find good 4th gen ones. i would like to keep everything in my car thirdgen.
