The carpet on the door side of the threshold (rail) would sometimes get wet a couple inches from the bottom if caught driving in the rain. But! During the RMR (a fabulous cruise, BTW), we had a day when it rained most of the day. The result was the entire sill was wet by the end of the day.
I ordered new door weather seals from Willcox (- arrived in a Corvette America box), which arrived about a week later.
The new seals were a perfect fit. And, the rubber was soft an pliable as the OE seals were.
The installation was easy -
only had to loosen the door panels to access the anchor screws - panels did NOT have to be removed entirely. My only problem was a few of the plastic anchors around the periphery of the seals pulled out of the rubber as I worked the seal around the door. No biggie, tho. I simply reinserted them into the rubber seal and gave them a little twist to align the anchors away from the little slits cut into the rubber (during manufacture to accommodate installation of the anchors in the seals).
Anywayz... I thought if anyone was considering replacing the seals, the rubber from Willcox is good stuff.
NOTE: Not all replacement rubber is like the OE stuff, I find. Some is more firm/dense, and may not fit as well. I believe Robert DeMarco(?) told me that Willcox gets its rubber from Corvette Rubber? Maybe too does Corvette Central? IDK. Anywayz, I also replaced the rubber around the windshield (when I repalced the WS). I got that new windshield rubber directly from Corvette Rubber, and the fit and texture was exactly like OE too.
