As the topic states. I'm looking to buy the rubber seals for the T-Tops on my 1981 Z28, also the rubber seals on driver and passenger windows could do with replacing.

I'm aware of a couple of places in the UK who deal in U.S. Automotive parts via Google. Just wondered if any one had any particular businesses/people who I'd be advised to contact??

I'm not adversed to ordering direct from the states, but is it more cost effective to buy in the UK??

Thanks :)

US Automotive buy their parts from Rockauto, so i buy direct and cut out the middle man.
I just bought some door weather seals for my 92 Camaro from Amazon.com, £55 inc tax, shipping, cheapest ive found.

Thanks :) I wasn't aware of these guys. I've decided to replace all the rubber seals, passenger and driver windows plus t-tops.

I've seen that thread in the last couple of days, it wasn't me who posted it though.

Beware when you order from rock auto not to tick the "show prices with vat" button, I did and it added vat to the part then the courier charges included vat on the total as well , so I would have effectively paid vat twice and vat on the vat ! And us automotive just wanted to charge me £230 for a recon LT1 water pump that I got from real steel in uxbridge for £78, it really does pay to shop around with yank parts

Thanks for the tip :) I ordered the parts the other week and avoided that additional charge.
