Just ordered Metro Basic WEATHERSTRIP Kit T-top

[82Calais]

How much is a weatherstrip kit from GM?

Discontinued
You may find NOS And its 4 x what the other makers r asking . but for the t tops they fit so much better .

The prrevious owner used double sided foam tape to seal up my tops. It doesn't leak. at least someone is making parts for us.

Incase anyone was curious i called a chevy dealer and they quoted the roof rail weatherstrips at $217 each!!! :shock:

for hardtops that is....vs $69.99 for the pair of metro seals.

Well I just bought the entire kit w/t-tops off eBay for $289.00... As soon as it gets here I will let you know how nicely it fits.

I recently purchased a t top kit from (Mikes montes) It was made by soft seal witch metro/soft seal are the same company now. But I installed it 2weeks ago and it fits like a glove. His customer service is second to none. They shipped the same day and it only ran me $189 that included vibration seals. He has plent of monte parts and he even caters to the Olds people. Heres some pics.

I've used Wurth Rubbercare Gel Stick. I don't think it has silicone in it though. It seems to work fairly well in maintaining door seals.
Here's a link so you know what I'm talking about.

Well I'm pretty excited. I just opened the box on my brand new complete Metro SuperSoft kit w/T-Tops! I almosted busted on myself when I opened the box and smelled all that brand new rubber. Probably get it all put in tomorrow.

I appreciate the pics guys. I'm a ways off before I need to worry about this issue but its Good to know we have supporting vendors with custumer service & reasonable prices.

t tops are the best worst thing ever i think, for the summer they're awesome but as soon as water gets involved in the equation it goes south. the repro weatherstripping i got kinda sucked as far as fitment i had to bolster up the B pillar weather stripping with extra weather strip and the rattle strips didnt fit worth a damn. they leak from the passenger t-top weather strip too which i cant figure. next time i'll ante up and get the best i can find... its like a friend of mine once told me "on the bright side, leaky t-tops make all the girls wet". but i'm glad to hear there are success stories with the aftermarket stuff
