I believe there are only 2 companies other than GM that make them.
Corvette Rubber, right here in Michigan, supplies to the majority of the catalog companies.
Metro Moulded Parts is the other one.

Based on their websites it looks like only Corvette Rubber makes the parts you need, so...its either them or NOS.

If you want to be correct only NOS will do. Corvette rubber is very good but there are obvious differences.

The correct NOS weatherstrips for the doors and the deck lid are significantly thicker than the reproductions. You have to be careful because early NOS and late NOS are not always the same. This is especially true for the door weatherstrips. Early are nice and thick and later are not nearly as thick.


Kind Regards,
