Window/T-top weatherstrips

Not sure if this the right forum, but it seemed most appropriate here.
The question is, where would be the place to get them? I need the ones that mount to the outer part of the t-top and possibly the entire window kit. I want them to fit right the first time and have no need to be cut or stretched. Are the OEMs really OEMs? I've found them on HawksThirdGen, ClassicIndustries, but can't find them on GMPartsDirect. I wanted to get them from GMPD, but I couldn't find it with their catalog. Thanks for any help.

I found a full 8 piece set on eBay for auction that I won for $255. Search around and you might get lucky.

That is different than the 8 piece set I got. That is SoffSeal, not original GM. The GM kit comes with the two long strips for the windows/T Tops, then the 6 pieces required to put new weatherstripping on each of your T Tops. I have no experience with SoffSeal stuff.

Ok. Thanks. I'll try to find the GM. I hope I can find a kit with the rear hatch seal. It's leaking too.

check out fbodymotorsports.com They have GM brand which is kinda pricey and they got a restoration part brand that GM has licensed with their name that is a little less in cost. I'm sure you'll find what you need up there. They are kinda slow on shipping though, it took me a little over a month to receive my weatherstripping.
