Weatherstrip Care Tip
Weatherstrip seals are prone to drying and cracking—especially on older Corvettes. Regular maintenance with non-petroleum dielectric silicone grease keeps rubber seals elastic, prevents sticking, and protects against UV damage and extreme temperatures. Apply a small amount to a soft cloth and wipe over rubber seals monthly. This treatment extends the life of weatherstrips on doors, window seals, sunroofs, trunks, hoods, and convertible tops. Avoid petroleum-based products, which accelerate deterioration and surface cracking.
Because Details Matter
This RH Windshield-to-Fender weatherstrip closes a vulnerable opening that can lead to rust, rot, and windshield post deterioration. If you're sealing up the front end of your late C3, don’t skip the corner filler. Replace what's missing—or what never survived—with confidence.
