Hi All,
One of my next projects is to replace my door seals and the inner and outer window seal.
I went on a quest for the best and found that I have several choices. This is where I need your help and experience with these products.
I find that door main seals are available made of (who knows what), made of Latex (more money),
and made in USA (what ever that means)
Previously I have heard some reports where owners had to adjust doors because the wouldn't close. One forum member had to re drill all of the holes for the attachment pins,
What experience have you had replacing these items. I want the best job done using the best products for the best results

I have had good experience with http://www.willcoxcorvette.com/ based on quality at a decent price. Other vendors source from them, including some of our supporting vendors, so check with them. You can also go to http://www.gmpartshouse.com/index.php but they will be pricey.
The cheap stuff is just that, it will rip, tear, and break your heart. If you use it, be prepared to do it again in a few years. You get what you pay for.
Just my $.02.

when my 90 was hit and we were putting it back together i had bought a set off ebay as i figured it was way cheaper . but as was said you get what you pay for. bought a set from a friend who sold his corvette before he used it and they were great. it was soft seal. after a couple months one of the door gaskets broke and i contacted the company and i explained i dint have the original receipt. they just made me send them a copy of the card that was in the box and they sent me a brand new set.

Maybe this will help answer your question (s)?
