Anyone buy from A1 auto??
I noticed A1 auto is running an Ad on here for a 11 piece seal kit. Has anyone purchased from them?

Re: Anyone buy from A1 auto??
Couple years ago we got the full kit for a 3rd gen t-top.It's NOT an exact copy of GM (search t-tops in threads).One member has a few photos of the differences.Miniscule and nothing to worry about unless you are doing a full-on resto.MY OWN exprerience is I wasn't aware of this site and didn't do everything they talk about so--I have a moderate leak!! The kit is a good one.There is a link to a magazine editor showing step-by-step directions and great tips!A1 does have a good product.I'm sorry I don't recall the brand name.FOLLOW THE INSTALL LINKS TO THE LETTER!!! Good luck!

Re: Anyone buy from A1 auto??
Hi everyone. I got in a little earlier than Tony today, so I'll respond first.
A majority of our weatherstripping is Metro branded. However, for the third gens, we do have some GM original stuff. We've heard a lot of requests for GM t-top seals and wanted to do our best to give the people what they want.
All of our weatherstripping for these cars can be found here :http://www.1aauto.com/1A/Weatherstrip/Chevrolet/Camaro
If anyone needs more info, please don't hesitate to ask

Re: Anyone buy from A1 auto??
Ordered my whole interior (carpet seat covers etc) and weather strip also. The guy on the phone was great and helped my get exactly what I needed. The only thing that didn't come in the box was all the time needed to finish my car! Great service and parts.

Re: Anyone buy from A1 auto??
Hey, I didn't know we had 1A reps on here...very cool!
I bought t-top weatherstripping for my Formula from them, and had a thread about it here: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/afte...top-seals.html
I purchased some other parts from them that I discuss here: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/afte...ts-review.html
Just a couple months ago, I dropped some coin for a new water pump for my 4th gen. They had the best price I could find for a new pump.
Also, they seem to be one of those rare companies that sincerely cares about the customer. Kind of anachronistic in these days of large, far-away places that forget who you are once they have your money.
I'd buy ALL my parts from them if I could, but they don't carry everything I need!

It's not uncommon to pull into the parking lot at work on a hot summer day and see several cars under car covers. It's kinda funny.

Re: Anyone buy from A1 auto??
yes, good company. I used to buy a lot of my jeep stuff there too. so far i have only bought a door handle for the firebird, but it was delivered with the usual speed and quality.
Their customer service is certainly an asset. I used to have a Jeep Comanche p/u, which is similar to a cherokee, but some things are slightly different. I would order stuff from 1a where the main product was great, but the manufacturer had included the mounting hardware or such for the cherokee instead. they always made it right immediately.

Re: Anyone buy from A1 auto??
I've bought from A1 in the past and had no problems. I found them to be a bit pricey but they do have hard to find stuff sometimes so......
Also, their communication is good and their shipping is fair so I can't really complain.

Re: Anyone buy from A1 auto??
Was there anything in particular you wanted to see on the roof rail seals? I snapped a couple pics from a pair I grabbed off the shelf, but can get something more specific if you'd like?

Re: Anyone buy from A1 auto??
boo, it was early, I guess I wasn't awake enough, sorry about. Those are the roof seal for over the door that attach on the t-top. Is yours a hard top or t-top vehicle? I can get some more pics later on today
