Hey guys!
I'm having a bit of a problem.........
The door sweep / felt....
I can't find it anywhere.... and I know no one really makes a good fitting set, Ecklers did for awhile but they were over $200, now they no longer exist. I can;t buy the staple set for 45$ b/c I am missing my original aluminum snap in trays.
I found em here for $64, but how good is the fit? I paid $85 awhile ago for a set that was wayyyyy off.....

Reproduction felts rarely ever fit perfectly, no mater where they come from. There are too many production dimensions that were just all over the place to start with on Corvettes. I bought a set of NOS/GM weatherstrips for my doors that are so far off, it's not even funny. I still have them, in the original, GM packaging(opened). I refuse to use them on my car, and I don't know that they would even fit another car without body work on the doors...
Get with Larry(VetteSpecialties)....he'll do ya right...
btw...I also bought a GM set for my '85, that fit perfectly....go figure...
