Weatherstripping: What is this called?

OK...on the t-tops on my iroc..there are the actual rubber weatherstripping pieces that are on the ttop themselves. im talking about the rubber pieces that actually go over the window (when its rolled up).

what is the official name of that part of the weatherstripping? and can you buy replacements for just those pieces without buying an entire kit?

can they be replaced and if so, how difficult is it? where to buy it would be great also.

mine are in terribile shape and i have to manually move the weatherstripping up everytime i close the door (otherwise it gets stuck in thew window glass)..

any help is appreciated.

Might be drip molding. I suggest a run to your local GM dealer tomorrow.

I had the same problem you are having with my old 91 bird.

Every few days I would shove it back in, and the window would catch it when I closed the door. I kinda think that would be in the T-Top weather stripping pack.

yeah...but i dont want to buy an entire ttop weatherstripping kit since that is the only part i need...the rest of it is in good tact so its a waste of money for an entire kit..

anyone know any online places i could look for that piece? is it 'drip molding' as stated above or...?
