You'll also need some good weatherstripping adhesive, I used 3M and have no leaks. The removal of ALL the old weatherstripping with any rust is vital to preventing any leaks. I didn't purchase my weatherstripping from ECKLERS but I used their links since they have photos. What I did buy was original GM weatherstripping from various sources. I shopped around for the best prices.

Here's another good source that pretty much includes everything:

Camaro/Firebird 82-92 New Reproduction GM Restoration T-Top Weatherstrip Kit (8 piece) - GM-4133OER

It doesn't include the weatherstripping that goes on the doors. The door weatherstripping is very easy to replace. There are like 2 screws and the weatherstripping just "pops" on into small holes that run along the sides & bottom of the door.

How's the quality compared to OEM?

I'm going to need to replace all my weatherstripping, and I've read in some other threads that some of the after market stuff has some problems.

Like some of the door weatherstripping is too firm, and causes the doors to not shut very easily. They also cheaped out at the connecting points etc.


Just curious how this T-Top stripping is?
