Does anyone know who has the cheapest weather stripping for our cars yes mine is a t-top. Thanks in advance

 

the only place i know of is the dealership, i have seen some in magazines like JCWhitney or Jegs i think. How bad is your stripping, mine leaks but i think its just where it had separated from the metal, i'm going to try silicone before i waste all that money.

 

Well....having the car painted and doing the inside at the same time so......wanna keep the elements out since this crap is so expensive. Ya know its amazing how expensive things get when we are having fun.

got mine at 1aauto.com .. was very nice stuff. Fit like OJ's glove and seals up tight.

 

A1 Auto does sell quality stuff. I have bought my weatherstripping (ttop car), and a ABS Headliner from them.

 

i bought mine from classis industries, i bought their atfermarket brand and installed them myself. Haven't had a leak since.

 

i got mine at classic industries, i bought their aftermarket weatherstripping and haven't had a problem since

 

how hard is weather stripping to install?

 

not very hard at all. i got mine from my local chevy dealer. my dad is a mechanic so i got it cheap through him. 230 bucks compared to 350 at hawks. i bought some adhesive that has a reaction that melts the weatherstripping to the slot. it was fairly easy. took a little while but it was easy. it came in 4 pieces.

 

The ugly part is getting all the old pieces out of the tracks.Also make sure you use sealer between the t-bar and the new seals.Thats where the design flaw is on these cars and that's where the real leak problems are.If you don't use sealer there,even with new seals it will still leak.Also use saran wrap around the t-tops when you first put them on,that way the sealer won't squish out somewhere and stick to the t-top glass and rip everything apart when you take them off the first time.Read the tech articles,good stuff..

 

if you buy the gm it comes in one piece. also i installed mine and it leaks worse, do i need some kind of adhesive? mine just sits in there.

 

use 3m weather strip adhesive. they sell it in black, and any auto parts store will carry it. i used soft seal weather striping on my car. i wasnt particualy pleased with the fit, but i got the whole kit for less than $200, so i wont complain too much.

 

yeah, i think i might get some of that stuff, sounds necicary....

 

go to WWW.GMpartsdirect.com they have the gen 2 kit for around $218 and thats the complete kit, heres the PN 10164133

 

well iput some glue on my passanger side. i don't get it. i put new striping on passanger side and it does not seem to fit right. it's OEM GM weatherstriping oh well i filled in the odd spots with the trim sealer. next rain i will update you guys on if it still leaks

 

I got my door weatherstripping for the iroc from summit racing. It fits really nice, and went on like a glove

 

Classic Industries or Year One...Hawks seemed over priced. A&M Softseal may have it but I have not looked.

 

ummm, i bought mine from advance auto parts.... put some silicone sealer were it slipped ofer the sheet metal, and it worked awsome, dosent leak and the hole thing was like 160 bucks for the t-tops

 

well it rained for about 12hrs yesterday. my driverside leaks like the t-top was off. the passenger side is tight! i noteced three dripps at one point. thats it. no dampness. so today when the sun was out i removed my drivers side weatherstripping and glued the hell out of it. and i put a little more glue in the passanger side where i was getting some leaking. weatherstripping adheasive freaking rules!!!!

 

damnit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it just started raining. water is not good for weatherstripping adheaside while it drys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well, atleast i still have half a tube left....

 

what i found made a big difference was i pulled the headliner and looked up through where the t-tops adjustments are, and siliconed all right there to make sure there was no way to let water through. You can obviously see the sky with the headliner out. GM really screwed up here. Also get the tops to seal real good using the adjustment thing, i don't know what it's called but where the pins from the t-top go in. They can be adjusted so the t-top sits right on the weatherstripping.

 

Here is a link to Camaro Performers web site. They have an article where they replaced the weather strip in a T-Top.
