Does anybody here know of a place that I can purchase a set of (good quality good fit) OUTER door edge window felts/sweeps or whatever you what to call them.

I have a whole weatherstrip kit for my car and it doesn't come with the outer window felts. I need to get them quick. My vette is nearing it's final steps towards having the new paint job.
Thanks in advance!

I purchased a pair from Willcox, and they did not fit very good, the plugs would not line up. I decided to buy another pair from Zip. Guess what ? Same thing ! Same manufacturer, exact. If you find something that fits, let me know. I have to say though, Willcox asked me if I wanted the good ones or the cheap ones. I went with the cheap ones. Now, what is the good one's ? I told Zip that I wanted the best I could buy. They were 30% more in price, but............ the same thing.

Boatman, thanks for the warning!

Big Fish, I take it that you've had good luck with this outfit. Thanks for the link. I will call them Monday.

Sarge |cheers|

Big Fish - Thanks for the Corvette-Rubber reference. I did not think of them. I bought weather strip from them for another car some years ago. Providing C-R has better material, I will have 2 pair of WS to sell.

Sarge (and Boatman) I had very good service and quality from CR. The only thing I got from them I didn't like was the air cleaner to hood seal. It didn't fit (was too big) I wound up cutting it and re-bonding it so it could fit. All other rubber came from them, everything fit about as well as can be expected. |thumb|

Corvette Central has the best outer fuzzy set. Should look and fit almost perfectly.

I think they run about $65.00 per pair. Most of the repros have the wrong clip and the rubber is too thick. The shop here in town only uses CC fuzzies and swears by them.

I ordered mine from Ecklers and had the same issue. I had to modify them to fit and they still don't work the way they should.

Thanks for the input fella's.
I placed my order with Corvette Central this afternoon. I was looking for something that would fit with minimal modification. I will let everyone know how they fit.
