If they are leaking and look like they need replacing; I would defenitly just go ahead and buy new weather stripping. Â*It honestly is not worth patching up multiple times when you can get it done with and 10x's better. Â*That I think happens alot with owners and they do a ghetto patch up job which screws up some of the secand hand owners that may purchase it down the road.

I bought my stripping from the local Pontiac dealer, big mistake. Â*Go to a 3rd gen specific website for it, its usually ALOT cheaper. Â*The job alone can only really take up to a whole day. Â*Just be patient and properly prep the area.

And personally I would paint the insert a nice clean flat black. Â*It looks clean, when you have "black" t-tops and black weather stripping why offset the color in the middle?
