Weather strip replacement
 
Can anyone in the area recommend someone to replace weather strips and window sweeps? I don’t mind traveling a little. I’m just looking for someone to do a good job.
TIA,
Mike.

Not familiar with MA, but I bought the window sweeps and side window seals and from my experience they should be done by a reputable company or GM. If it is done wrong, the side windows will scratch. $$$

The moldings are available everywhere for Corvettes. You just need to decide on how original you want to go.

There will be other members who have done them and they will give you the scoop!

Otherwise, get out and enjoy the Corvette weather.

I hear you Lou. Wilcox seems to have decent ones at good prices. I definitely have concerns with just having whom ever do the job. Like you said the last thing I want is scratched windows or worse yet someone going too far while drilling out the rivets. Hopefully someone in the area will have a suggestion. I wouldn’t mind traveling a little if necessary.

Cvette98pacecar used to have us hooked up with covetterubber. Not sure if that channel is still open or not.

Hey Steve I hope you’re doing well.
I’ll definitely look into that. Do you have anyone up your way that you’d trust to change them all out?

Chris at Traffic Jamz, they do a lot of interior work, i.e. custom stereo work. 603-627-1530
Or
Motorcar alternatives. More of a general mechanic, but their work is impecable. 603-622-6434. Ric doesn't want my pain in the azz car in the shop, so I hire his mechanic Jeff on the side, which is a win for me.

No problem Mike. Headed on any of the trips this year? I'm leaving for MR6 Friday.

Unfortunately I don’t think so. I’ll actually be up your way for a wedding in June. Not sure how close to Gregg lake you are but I’ll be there the weekend of the 15th. If you’re close enough I’d be happy to buy you a beer while we’re there.

15th of May? I'll be in the Smokey mountains somewhere.
