Alright As many convertible owners know. Ordering the replacement weatherstripping can cost upwards 600+ from gmpartsdirect or 1000+ from the dealer itself.. This is bad. Appearntly a company named Softseal now offers OEM Style replacement for our cars. I have had a chance to order a set and test the quality but I am pretty excited.

On the website it says coming soon, however on ebay it says otherwise.
Quick search of Ebay.. which it wasnt listed as weaterstripping i find it!

woot 469 is not a bad deal! sure as hell beats 600+!!
I purchased from soft seal when I needed New door seals for my 86 Caprice Coupe, and fit/finish were very good. and for the 120 I spent I couldn't have been happier.
you know....i was thinking about seeing if there was interest in a GP on the seals. i think we'd probably need at least 10 to commit for us to get any kind of a good deal though. 469/set should easily be able to be dropped to at least 399 or less with 10 buyers direct from the manufacturer.
any vert owners interested?
rec'd an email from the first of a few companies i emailed. heres what he said:

confirmed. this is the price.
perro: this would be for the FULL top strip set--all 7 pieces
Thats a heck of a deal, lets make it happen and arrange this GP. Though getting 10 verts might be diffcult
check out the exterior forum for GP info
did anyone find the people to get it for that price? I would so be in on buying the stripping for that price. The 7 piece one. How would i go about doing that? who would i contact?

GP is over but you can still purchase at a good price.
I've been putting off this purchase for a while due to the price. Just found Soffseal 8701 (header) and Soffseal 8702 (6 piece set) weather seals on www.carparts.com for $260 total shipped! I used the 5% off coupon code "CPAFF8." Can't wait to install!
