Is there a comprehensive list of weatherstripping to replace?

Here is what I have so far for my 88 GTA hardtop.

1. Door weatherstripping
2. Hatch weatherstripping
3. Outer window sweeps
4. Mirror weatherstripping?
5. Replace hatch glass to lid weatherstripping?

How about the inner window sweeps?


Any input would be appreciated as I need to order parts ASAP for repaint.

Thx

 

If you can afford it, change it all.

 

On what car???

 

 

Money isn't the issue. I DO want to replace all the weatherstripping...I just want to make sure I have a comprehensive list, to order it all at the same time.

Anyone have any adds/changes or a more complete list list?

Also, I have researched and found that I should be using Fairbanks weatherstripping for the doors...any input on this?

 

Is your car a t top car?
You need door, hatch, inner sweeps, outer sweeps, window triangles, t top set if you have t tops, otherwise the hardtop set, cowl,
I am sure I missed something.
I used the Fairchild door weatherstrip and I am very happy with them.
You can go for your lungs with the original GM or try to find alternatives. Everybody has a different opinion on what works.

I appreciate the responses...but I have to wonder if people do too much quick skimming when reading Check post #1...88 Firebird GTA hardtop.

The inner and outer sweeps, mirror triangles, cowl weatherstripping is what I didn't have down. I hadn't even thought about the glass...I believe I do have some very minor windshield seperation...which should be covered under my insurance full glass coverage on the car.

Where is the best place to get the windshield trim?

EDIT: I am repainting the GTA the original color - arctic white

 

I guess I missed that

Windshield trim

If you buy a replacement windshield it will come with a trim around it that is much wider then the original. If you do change your windshield and want to maintain a stock appearance, buy that trim and give it to the glass guys and tell them to remove the one on the windshield and install this trim.

 

I missed it to

 

I had my windshield replaced this summer due to separation in the glass, not the seal, it looked like crap.They came to the house and did it,new seal included,for less than $200.00.The molding(seal)is bigger

 

Mantaguy...do you have glass coverage through insurance to cover this? Or did you just pay cash?

I really have to check that out...living in MN means I should have that done sooner due to upcoming cold weather.

 

Are the triangles really that important? I have an 87 T/A the triangles look to be ok.

Don't forget the hood! I think theres a seal at the rear of it...

 

I have coverage!!but only for accidental,not for wear.

 

That's the cowl seal.

 

I think I will be ok with these. The car is never going to see rain or snow again and they dont look cracked or dry rotted.

 

You are right 82,I went to the body shop to check out the progress on my TA and the windshield gasket is bigger!!!I quess I never thought of it when they were doing the job(and I was watching)It does't look bad tho,I mean you would have to be looking for that(and it is large)Well,I'm not changing it now,I'll have to live with it.

 

Don't worry Mantaguy - your secret is safe with me.
