Need Weather Strips

I have a 94 v6 3.4 and my t-tops are leaking a good bit on both sides...my weather strips are just old and worn.
Does anyone have a site where I can by new weather seals for all around t-tops, doors. Thx

go to gm, the aftermarket ones suck, and fail quickly.Keep them clean and they should last 20-30 years

once you get em replaced, pick up a can of silicone spray. Spray on and with a cloth rag make sure you soak the silicone into the rubber about once every 2 weeks.. or once a week if your in a dry climate like Arizona. I've been using that stuff and the rubber looks like new and still feels soft. Some regular cleaners can eat up the rubber.

don't use the silicone, it will dry rot the rubber, and will cause problems if the car needs paint.I clean mine with alcohol (which is what the seal companies recomend, and works great on wiper blades also)if worried about them drying out you can use a light coat of vaseline

I have to dissagree there. Do a simple google search on Silicone Spray and rubber and you'll find most products out there are designed specifically to protect soft rubber components.

armor all markets as a protectant, and has been proven to deteriate rubber.Silicone should not be used near paint anyway (keep in mind I think like a painter, silicone will destroy a paintjob in a heartbeat)
