    Sources for convertible top weatherstripping

    I am in need of weatherstripping for my 69 convertible top. I have a query in to Knoch to see if they have it or do it as part of new top install. Doc does not appear to have it. So that leaves "all the other" usual suppliers. Does anyone have a recommendation for good quality weatherstripping for a 69 convertible top?
    Thanks in advance.

      Keith,
      The only place you need to be shopping for any of your weatherstripping needs...

      C3: 1968 - 1982
      https://corvette-rubber.com/collections/c3-1968-1982
      Located in Northern Michigan, we manufacture the highest quality American-made restoration weatherstripping for Corvettes. When you count on quality weatherstripping for America’s favorite sports car, you can count on Corvette Rubber Company.

          Lef never knew this place existed. Thanks for the link. They sound legit.

          Another option is Steel Rubber. They've been in business since 1958. Legit too.
          They are likely supplying most of the other suppliers out there.

          Who knows Steel could be sourcing from Corvette or vise versa.

          I think there are three weather seal places that manufacture here in the USA. These two and Metro Molded. Never hurts to have a dual source especially if its the same quality materials/product.

          I have Steel seals in my 68 442 that I installed in 1992.They are still like new.

              Ther Corvette parts have a note on the bottom of the page stating they’re not made by Steele.
              I had never heard of Steele before, and I suspect that like everyone else they are reselling Corvette Rubber pieces.

                  just ordered my vette top seals from Corvette Rubber. Got the body set from Doc a few years ago so will just use that for the rest.
                  Thanks again.
