padgett Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 If anyone develops a source, I could use two sets for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest steveskyhawk Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 C2 is short for second generation Corvette (63-67) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 C2 is short for second generation Corvette (63-67)I thought you were referring to the second gen Corvettes but wanted to be sure. My guess that would be like trying to put a top from a 53 Corvette onto an Allante. The year difference is so great that the style, fit and appearance would be completely different.I have a '63 Corvette two top convertible, that has been pictured on this forum before along side my S60 and the weather stripping on both the convertible top and the hard top are completely different from that on my Reatta convertibles.

Jim Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I did some comparing last fall the weather strips on the coupes vs the convertibles and found them to be very similar both in shape and the way they attach to the roof/top. I sent the upper portion of some coupe weather strips to a convertible owner and he cut and modified them and got them to work on his conv. You would only want to do this if yours were really bad and had chunks missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steveskyhawk Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Mike was referring to a later generation Corvette convertible. My mistake. We will solve this problem in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kingsley Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) Anyone have a decent spare that they can entrust me with for molding purposes. As with the sun visor clips, I am willing to make an investment and have it done first class. It will be a matter of cost v. potential sales but the sun visor clips seem to be workabe and I will investigate it. Very few folks are willing to make an invesment but if I can break even that is okay with me. In all probability will have to be done offshore to have a remote chance of doing it.

padgett Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 SoftSeal doesn't have anything ? Haven't gotten motivated enough to look deeply. Yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest daveagain909 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Mine is now missing a big hunk at the point where the weather stripping meets the door, I quess I will have to live with it until I can find a junked reatta convertible or someone produces new ones. It has quite a air leak though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCReatta Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Dave? Can you post or send me a picture if the part you need? I may have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCReatta Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Just for reference, part number for the piece Dave needs is 20689079. GM parts direct says that they have one, but it's $154. Possible it could work.I have the piece Dave needs, though it's in about the same condition as the one he has. He's going to try to see if he can graft a part of mine onto his somehow.
