Cheap? It's not cheap, unless you get non-GM stuff. According to many, it does not seal out weather as well as it should.

You can get genuine GM or aftermarket weatherstripping from thirdgenresource or Hawk's, both links at the top of the page.

Prepping the area the glue adhere's to is very important in getting the glue to bond well.

Clean the area really well..

What do you concider cheap? I found a site that has replacement seals (including the trunk) for $300. My passenger side seal is all screwed up so I'll be doing that shortly.

And x2 on the 3M stuff... I made the mistake of buying that in the past!!
