Weatherstriping

I'm looking into buying a 82 Z28, but the guy said the t-tops have been sealed and that it needs new weatherstriping. I was wondering, usually how much does this cost (I will also have to replace the passanger door and front passanger fender) and how hard is it to replace? Anyone know of any good places to buy waetherstriping from? I'm new at all this, and wanna make sure I'm not taken.

Best place to get it would be GM from www.gmpartsdirect.com or www.auto-parts-for-less.com

Compare their prices with shipping and see who is cheaper.

Please explain exactly what pieces you need and I will give you the part numbers. This goes only if you have a firebird.

I'm zcam875's girlfriend, but I asked him about the weather stripping on my car many times and he doesn't tell me a lot about what I need to ge to replce it. I went to a Pontiac dealer and they told me they couldn't get all the parts for the weather stipping for my car. I have an 85 firebird w T-tops, the weather stripping leaks all over the car and is sun rotted. I need all of it replaced. I was wondering if you could give me some part numbers, or tell me the name of the pieces I need, so I don't buy the wrong stuff.

You can get the entire 8 piece set for $210 shipped to your house. Go to www.gmpartsdirect.com and order part number 10164133.
