I'm about to buy weatherstrip for my son's car.At the very least he needs the ones for the t tops and the doors. Does anyone have any advice on best pricing? or what to stay away from ?

Re: Buying weatherstrip

Which set exactly would be the part that goes on the door where the opening for the window is? That's the part of mine that needs the most attention. (Dry and cracked/broken) don't want my door filling with water.

Re: Buying weatherstrip

Try living in Australia and getting parts for these cars! If the price of the part doesn't give you a heart attack, the shipping will!!

Not a cheap project down here I can tell you that, but still worth the effort
