Need all the weatherstripping... best place to get? Kit or separately?

83 Hardtop and I need all the weatherstripping badly!!

Been looking around at complete kits but they seem to be more than buying the parts separately... unless I just wasn't looking in the right place.

Here's my list so far, let me know if I'm missing anything or if I can do better!

I don't need the hood as I have a cowl.

Cheapest kit I could find came in at $10 more than the above.

No idea why some companies are charging $300+!!


All are with shipping and for both sides.

$54

$49

Good find, Bob. Currently out of stock, though. Looking for a set for my 83 hardtop as well

I used metro soft seal.. The door seals fit pretty well.

The roof rail seals didn't fit all to well. Had to adjust my glass way in to get it to seal in the back. You would be better off find old stock roof seals.

lol bob... you do realize that kit costs over $200 more than what I posted and only includes the sweeps? Not sure what those cost but I didn't need those. Maybe they're super expensive though, I have no idea!

Right, but what I posted was the complete set as well minus the sweeps, at a total cost of less than $140 shipped!
