Default Who do you use for weatherstriping?

I used Corvette Central for my weatherstripping needs but the last couple of orders for the hatchback weatherstripping and the wheelhouse panel seal have been short. The panel seal is one inch short as measured by the original and the hatchback weatherstripping is short as well. One side fits and the other side doesn't. Anyone has a go-to place for the weatherstripping?

I had tried many vendors in the past (40) years some were good and some were fair but this vendor surprise the heck out of me, the quality and fit can pass for NOS.

Ive used multiple sets. All seem to be the exact same, so I buy the $180 kit, as opposed to the exact same $350-$400 kit all the popular vendors use. Good fitment depends on your skill and/or patience.

Default Re: Who do you use for weatherstriping?

I have always used NOS weatherstripping. Last set I bought (NOS) pretty much fell apart on install (they were NOS but previously taken out of the vacuum sealed bag by seller). I went with corvette-rubber as well. Much better than the A/M of old. I would still buy NOS in a world where they were not 25 years old but corvette-rubber is the best on the market and MUCH better than the cheaper sets, IMHO, there is a HUGE difference in fitment and quality than the cheaper sets.
