Theres some kind of a trim ring that goes aound the perimiter of the body that the tonneaq cover sits on and seals to. I noticed that my new 88 doesn't have one but the other two do. I will try to get a pic if I get home in the daylight. Anyone know what I'm taking about? Thanks

 

Same here, my car has one thats partly torn off and laying in the trunk

 

If your talking about the original GM convertible clear tonneau protective film which protects the tonneau cover from excessive wear from top you can get it at www.moderndaymuscle.com for $120.

 

No, Its not the plastic protective cover. I've attached a picture of what I'm trying to describe. Anyone know where to find one of these or what it would be called? Thanks

 

I spaced out yesterday and forgot the picture.

 

It's called Trimlock. Some call it Trimlock door seal or hatch seal. It's available by the foot from many RV, Marine & Auto stores. Here's one link I found . . .

I'm not sure of the exact size (I'd have to measure mine). They also come in different finishes (colours & textures) so be sure to get the kind that matches yours.
Good luck.

 

Thats not the one I was thinking it was either, or the one I'm looking for. Mines the seal that goes between the top and the flipup lid.

 

For your part, do you mean the soft seal that keeps the elements out (rain,etc)? Does it look like it would be part #10, the No. 5 Bow Seal?

 

Correct.

 

Here is a link to where I purchased my Vert Weatherstripping. It's NOT inexpensive, but it IS available...

The Convertible Top Rear Seal is listed at a price of $139.99

buying weather stripping is so hard. it's not fair

i don't even know where to begin

 

Thanks speed. I didnt figure it to be cheap. I'll add that to my list of things to get sometime. I also kinda need the right window one too, I see its about 105'ish. *sigh*

 

I saw a complete weatherstrip set on ebay from some company in Texas. Not cheap but it looked complete. I can't remember the price I think it was close to a G.

 

[QUOTE=Iroctopless;3259862]It's called Trimlock. QUOTE]

Sweet, Thanks. I wondered why a little water got in under the rear seat and discovered that piece had been REMOVED!?!? I hope this was at fault as I had already checked the run off tubes for any type of clog. Anyone wouldn't happen to know if an original piece can still be purchased somewhere would you? Thanks

 

[QUOTE=Cmeb4ubuy;3262079]This got me interested. Mine on the vert is in good shape but there are other applications for this stuff... I found the website for TrimLock and they've got an interesting product line. They have the part you are looking for. You just need to figure out the length as it is sold by the foot... You might check with stores in your local area that sell parts/paint/supplies to body shops and you will probably find what you are looking for there.

is this a full kit? I'm going to be doing every seal for the door + trunk .
I wanna get a kit for the top too soon. But for now I just wanna do everything minus the top.

 

That looks like the whole kit...

~DANG~ That is expensive!

Speedy

 

Yea thats the one I was talking about. Last time I looked they had 2 diffenert ones. The full one and a cheaper one. looks like they just have the full one now. I need them all anyway.
