87 Weatherstrip Question

[rose1mr]

Ok...I am getting my GN to where she needs to be. I have another issue though that I need some help with. Excuse me if this seems dumb, but I cannot get a straight answer.

I need to replace ALL the weatherstripping on my 87 GN T-Top. Except for the trunk, that seal is fine. However, I cannot wash the car without getting the inside wet. So I went to Kirbans, and there are like 6 or 7 sets of weatherstripping for my car. Which ones do I need to replace all of them. I know its gonna cost a lung, but the car is worth it.

And, do I need to use that 3m glue? I have heard some say to, others say just tuck it in along the grooves. I have no idea how to replace it, and the local GN guy here in town wont touch it. I need to get it done, and the first step is finding out what I need.


Any help is much appreciated!

I just posted a question about 1A & the reply that I got was 1A was a good product. I did some searching and for the trunk seal you do not want to use the glue, just set it in the track. The one thing everyone stressed was to have a lot of patience. One person even suggested to test fit the weather stripping(i.e. roof rails, & doors) w/out any glue for a week. This will allow for some adjustment & then you can go back and apply the recommended amount of glue to permanently install it.

Does anyone know what the part number is for the wheatherstrip that goes down and acroos the bottom of the door??

Just did the inner and outer belt moldings. Got them from GM parts direct... What an awesome fit... Nice and quiet now
