Anyway the weatherstripping is as close to original GM as possible. It is not the heavy EPDM that comes from Europe or the lightweight foam that is made in the US.
Dropped in on Marc Haibeck yesterday, and weatherstripping was one of the topics he touched on. Dittos on the Corvette Rubber.
And you're 100% right about the texture: By feel it is as you said, Robert; noticeably firmer than OE, but waaaay softer than some others I've sampled.

I'll be a placin' an order here purdy soon. According to Marc, Safelight put a new windshield in a car he was working on for (I believe it was) $280 installed, including the glass. It looked beautiful!
