Good trunk Weatherstripping?

My 88 GTA is in dire need of some new trunk/hatch weatherstripping. I was looking for a place that would have good, non-cheapo replacements. I found some at Classic Industries, but didnt kow who made em. Anyone point me in the right direction here? I don't mind repos, but don't want some Chinese junk that will leak again in a few months. thanks.

I didn't realize that Year One made parts for our cars. Sure enough i went to thrit sit and they have the trunk weatherstrip from GM for $60, which is less that what Classic was asking. I'd much rather have GM over repro, so this might be the ticket. Thanks for the info.

ok, here is the deal. buy GM, or leave what you have on there. the aftermarket fits horribly IMO.
