weather stripping for A-pillar trim pieces

Anybody know a good source for weather stripping for the A-pillar trim pieces? L-shaped strips. I have mine, but cracked, etc. Thanks!

Re: weather stripping for A-pillar trim pieces

I haven't found anyone who makes it. I'd also like to know.

I think Steel Rubber can make custom weatherstripping. From what I saw on My Classic Car, you just sned your existing one in, and a short time later, they send both back.

I just checked out that site and it says:

"This item is no longer available.

Item #4 - Top to Windshield seal. New GM"

Didn't see A pillar, but they are saying what they have is GM. Good site. Any experience with the aftermarket rear bumper/rocker emblems?

Did anyone find where to get these weatherstrip pieces for the a-pillar? I've been searching for them and am at a loss for where to get them.

Thanks a lot.

Re: weather stripping for A-pillar trim pieces

I just got what you see above. I think I looked at the steel rubber site. Haven't gotten anything.

Thanks. I pinged Steele Rubber today. We'll see. Haven't found any other provider for that piece...

Re: weather stripping for A-pillar trim pieces

I guess I have to ask, there are two rubber pieces on the A-pillar that I can think of. There is the window seal that obviously seals the window to the Pillar, and there is a trim piece that does nothing more than cover up the fact that the interior trim piece was mis formed when made. Which one are you looking for?

Re: weather stripping for A-pillar trim pieces

Hey John,
I have a t-top car and I'm looking for the weather strip that goes on the a-pillar interior trim piece. I have some nice new a-pillar trim pieces, but the rubber is all rotted and worn out.

Thanks...

Re: weather stripping for A-pillar trim pieces

So I'm referring to the cosmetic piece.

Thanks!
