T-top seals

I'm repainting my '91 T-top Camaro and I would like to replace the seals because the t-tops leak. Who makes the best seals and where do I get them?

Sof Seal makes the best, but they're $300 a pop. I've got them on my car and they look awfully similar to the $150 stock ones. Summit sells the Sof Seal stuff.

TACreations sells a GM top kit for $160 (both sides)plus a few extra for shipping which I thought was a great deal (so I bought it). IMO there is no substitute for fit/finish than OEM when it comes to weatherstripping.

SoffSeal Makes a great product,, except for the one particular pair I bought (which is pretty normal)

Look on ebay. I just a bid on a set of GM seals. They were $125 plus $15 shipping. They start out at $10 and usually the bid ends at about $125-$155. I am waiting for them to come in the mail. The seller said he has about 15 sets left. I always see them on ebay. Take a look for yourself. I think that they are a good price, they save you about $40.

is this robbery or what.I got door seals for $50.00 a set and I have to pay $160-$300 for t-top seals.There cant be much more material in the t-top seals.But they(aftermarket) know if the doors leak you wont get wet and will wait to fix it,if the roof leaks the part is more needed.I guess they will just get more expensive with time.I think A-1 auto sells them on ebay.$150
