Weather Stripping

I need to know where the best "cheapest" place to get all new weather stripping for my 1988 IROC. I need to redo the T-Tops and Doors, any ideas?

check year one...they have GM stuff which is going to be the more expensive stuff, but its gonna be good, and they have aftermarket weather stripping. remember, with cost, your gonna be affecting qaulity...i dont know about you, but i dont want a leaky ttop...well, my 4th gen is currently leaking...but my 88 formula isnt...b.s. right? lol. but along with any brand, its also about how you install it...use goo-gone or something in all the channels...clean it all up...until you would eat off of it. haha. put in a google search, ebay, year one like i said, hell...walk into pepboys possibly or advanced auto parts...wont have to pay shipping then...

Try searching the threads for replacing your doors and use a shop manual to figure out the parts you are missing.

i bought mine from www.fbodymotorsports.com but...after reading the aftermarket vendor forums and noticing that they do a lot of lying, you can go to http://www.1aauto.com for stripping, they seem to have reasonable prices.
