Quick weatherstrips question.

Hi everyone

Just one quick question:

I'm looking for a weatherstrips that goes around my t-tops. They're not leaking but I will be painting the car so the old ones need to come off and I'm not sure whether I will be able to re-use them.
I was checking the Trim Parts web site and what they've got is this:

and it's probably what I need, but what are these:

http://www.trimparts.com/part_detail...9ODAyNg%3D%3D/

The description is similar but the price is totally different?
Why is that?

BTW
Car is 1991 Z-28

One fits on body the other on the T Top. They've just got the same pic mistakenly up for both.

Re: Quick weatherstrips question.

You can reuse them mine weren't the greatest and they don't leak. I've put in a set that was ripped completely in half and it still holds up

Yeah, thanks for asking.

I ordered new weatherstripping today, along with few other bits and pieces from RockAuto. The car is going for re-spray in January so hopefully will start putting it back together around February/March time.
