You can get the door weatherstrip rom classic industries. They have a website but I am unsure of the address.

I just bought one at GM a couple of weeks ago... the one around the door itself, where it seals to the body. It was about $100. Seems like any piece of weatherstripping is about $100 at the dealer.

Original GM outer window channel strip $27 ea
Original GM inner window channel strip $62 ea
Original GM rubber door weather strips $129ea
Door filler seals(attached to black triangle) not available from GM. Reproductions $20 for the pair.

I replaced everything, the GM items come in the original GM packaging.

All prices from www.amesperf.com

Classic Industries address is www.classicindustries.com but you can't buy anything (well anything important) on-line. You have to buy their $5 catalog and order by phone, fax or mail. While their catalog is incredible (the best I have seen and I have every one possible)they are the most expensive and take too long to deliver. They take two weeks, and every single other place I order from takes 3-5 days. I don't get it.

Original is worth the little extra IMO

I've gotten new T-top seals (OEM/TAcreations)($134/pr)
New Door seals (SoffSeal)($80/pr)
New hatch seal (NextGen Parts)($34)
And new outer windlace from JCWhitney($30?/pr)

The only seals worth their price were the t-top seals

The SoffSeals are nice but, molded somewhat incorrectly on the ends and only have washers to hold the ends in place

Whatever crap*ssed repo hatch seals NextGen parts sells, aren't worth the cost of the packaging it came in . They do not fit correctly

The outer windlace from JCWhitney is of questionable quality,, not great but acceptable. Only thing is they come pre-smooshed on the ends for you (so you get to spend 15 mins bending them straight again)

If you can find the right outlet for any OEM GM seals,, by all means get them

*FYI the inner strips (dealer/OEM)for the windshield come attached to the plastic that lines the top of the door( the black piece that either warps or cracks),, that's why they are $62/ea
