C2 Rear Bow W/S #?

[Ralph E.]

Can someone please help. What is the correct P/N for the rear bow weatherstripping for a 1967 convertible. I have a box marked #3827481 weatherstrip. I was told it is NOS rear bow weather stripping.

Ralph,

The part number for the rear bow weatherstrip is 3873761. Your number corresponds to the center bow in the 77 parts manual.

GM #3827481 is the "rear bow" weatherstrip for a 1963-67 Corvette convertible HARDTOP. It was discontinued from GM within the last 2 years, or so.

As Joe R. mentioned, the rear bow weatherstrip for the convertible top for 63-67 Corvettes is GM #3873761. It's still available from GM for a current list price of $15.15. In fact, it's one of the few pieces of weatherstrip still available from GM for any 53-82 Corvette.

Actually, the GM #3873761 is the PRODUCTION and SERVICE wetaherstrip for later 1965 through 1967 Corvettes. It became the SERVICE weatherstrip for 63 through early 1965 when the original weatherstrip used for those cars, GM #3831504, was discontinued in May, 1965.

Is the weaterstripping P/N 3827481 for a 77 Corvette convertible or 63-67 Corvette convertible hardtop rear bow or both?

Either way looks like I need P/N 3873761 for my 67 Convertible rear bow weatherstripping.

The GM #3827481 is for a 1963-67 Corvette convertible HARDTOP. There were no 1977 Corvette convertibles (and, therefore, no hardtops for them). The hardtop weatherstrip for 68-75 convertibles is NOT the same as the 63-67 piece.

Joe,
Thanks for taking the time to explain.
If someone wants 63-67 convertible hardtop weather stripping, let me know, I got one.
