1970 Coupe Outer Door Glass Seals

[Russ T.]

Can anyone recommend a good supplier of this product? They are the rubber-lipped seals that press fit into the door holes on the external side of the door glass. Just got burned with a set in which the knobs simply will not pop into the door holes (which it must do to hold seal in firmly) although they do line up correctly. How about Paragon or Zip?

Corvette Central started reproducing these in late summer of 1999. They are by FAR better than the crappy rubber lipped ones that many others sell, and are made of the correct material.

I did have to move one of the fasteners just a tad to line up, but once they line up no problems. I used an awl to punch new small holes for the fastener and moved it over just over 1/16". That follows with the rule that no reproduction part ever fits correctly, so I was not surprised. I had previously tried the crappy rubber seals, and threw them away once I received the new ones from CC. I think I was one of the first to receive some of these sets.
