Rear Hatch Weatherstrip - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Hammer · 06-04-2007

It looks like my rear hatch weatherstrip could use replacing. Not too bad, just needs replacing. I found this on ebay and am curious what everybody thinks about it. Has anyone ever used it? Where would a person go to get some weatherstripping if it isn't any good.
Thanks

John, on the rear hatch weather strip I insist on GM pieces. The aftermarket ones seem to always be a little "short" and don't fit right.

I changed mine with a GM replacement. I changed it by my self, but would have had an easier time of it had I had somebody to give me a hand. Just a little messy.

Mine needs replacing too. Is the one at mid america comparable in quality and price? Do they come with adhesive? How long does the replacement take for the average curb side mechanic. Thanks all. And thanks for the great people here.

I got mine (GM factory part) through Mid-America last year at Funfest (10% off), and it's a pretty easy job. Remove rear plastic trim pieces, remove the old weatherstrip, slide the new one in place, replace trim pieces. You'll need to undo the hatch struts one at a time to get the new weatherstrip in place. I did this by myself, wasn't that bad at all and took less than an hour. No sealer is needed, just remove the old one and slide the new one on. It does go a bit easier if you lay out the new weatherstrip in the sun for a bit to soften it up first.

I purchased a few pieces through Corvette Rubber. The outer door seals were GM. The door weatherstrips themselves were not in a GM package, but everything fit perfectly.

i just replaced mine with one off of ebay and i was realy suprised at the fit! i was wondering the same thing as you when i got mine, save the money and give it a try.

or you can get it from the general and pay $50 for the stripping and another $100 for the name
