Weather stripping

Is it still possible to buy GM weather stripping for ttops and doors? I ordered door seals from hawks but after doing some reading I'm aftraid they won't fit right. I do not need ttop seals but my roof rail seal is leaking that does down the window. I thought about replacing the whole ttop seal since it is part of the roof rail seal. Just wondering if I could still find GM so I don't have to go aftermarket to make sure they fit correct.

I used the Steele Rubber kit on my hardtop and was very happy with them.

Where did you get those and do you have part numbers by chance?

Their online catalog. The website breaks it down to year, make, and model. They sell everything as a kit or individual seals that you may need. They even have the door glass front corner seals.

Pretty big topic of debate, since no one seems to make them as good as factory. I have Fairchild and am pleased with them. I also hear good things about Steele. Avoid OER weatherstrips like the plague.

Yeah, specifically the window/roof rail one. I’m gonna pick up the lower door ones soon (hopefully) since apparently Fairchild is one of the few brands that has the plastic inserts.

just realized I should’ve clarified, I have a hardtop. Not sure if Fairchild’s T-top set is any good, but in my experience the brand isn’t just dumping out trash.
