new outer door window seals

My '88 C4 looked pretty snappy except for the ratty door window seals. They were brittle and broken. I ordered a pair of replacements from Zip Corvette Parts:

was money well spent! It took me about an hour or so to change them outand it makes the car look years newer.Here's an after pic:

Thanks for the post. Seals have been on the shelf for a couple of months now. Incidentally, the local Corvette shop wants $ 150 per door to do the job.

PJ, if you're going to install a set of these window seals, the corvette magazine instructions are pretty good except the old clip removal directions. I used a screwdriver that was grinded to a sharp chisel end and i tapped the end of the driver with a hammer until the inserted portion of the clip broke. They're made of thin metal and they split easily. The second door took me literally 10 minutes. I also didn't have to unplug the door panels, i just supported them underneath so there was no tension on the wires or plugs. If you get nervous email me. wally@wallys-speed-shopDOTcom

Yepper I have done mine also. But I broke a clip off of one of the new ones... They were extremely brittle, and ZIP sent me another set with no question.
