I need replacement weatherstripping for my car. Its the part where the top meets the roof ( the part behind the windshield). Its started to dryrot and is leaking into the interior. If anybody knows a site where I can get some replacement weatherstripping I would appreciate it if you let me know. Thanks

The stealership would probably be your best bet for something like that, even though it might cost you an arm and a leg, but its worth trying anyways.

I knew that the dealership would have it. But I want something cheap. I haven't checked yet but I bet that one piece of rubber will be 100 bucks at the dealer.

Could be, but you never know. I was just checking for prices on day on something at my local one and the piece I wanted I figured would be like $40-50 and it ended up being like $5 so that wasn't so bad. It's worth a shot though.

My weatherstripping is all discolored and faded and shit. It bugs me for some reason, but I'm not spending the money to replace it just for that.

you can make it last a bit longer. I had the same problem and hadn't replaced it yet. On the spyder just tighten the j hooks a bit (1 bolt and twist them both in 1 more turn). If it leaks at the corners well your screwed it's a spyder and thats expected. But try to clear the drains with compressed air.
Hope that helps a bit.

Tightening the clamps won't help, the weatherstripping is screwed and it needs to be replaced (which it will), but since no one knows where I can get it, I guess I will check the dealership and go from there.

wait till you hear this... I stopped in the dealer today (for the emblems for my car spyder emblem was 33 bucks wtf?)
so i checked the price on the weatherstripping you needed. Aparently the parts that come up the front windows in the front and that top piece are all one piece. ...
$302 - OUCH!
From the invoice though it looks like they pay $288 for it.
Enjoy :) I hope that didn't ruin your day. It might be easier to find a dead spyder in a junk yard and carefully remove the piece. It's probably cheaper if you can pull it off.

Well that sucks. I guess I'll go check at my dealership. Probably go ahead and buy it. I don't mind paying for it if I've got to have it.
