Re: Affordable weatherstriping

I know JC Whitney has some cheaper weatherstripping. They sell a complete set for almost $300 I would of bought it, but it is only for hardtops and I have T-tops.

Re: Affordable weatherstriping

Next question; has anyone ever had the weather-stripping professionally installed for less than an arm and a leg?

Re: Affordable weatherstriping

dont forget when you get the new ones in that you need to wipe them down with dielectric grease to maintain them .

Re: Affordable weatherstriping

Is there any regular stores that you can buy them from. Not including an online source.
