Any guesses on if these are the correct stuff for type K trunk rubber? I'd really rather not order the wrong part hoping to get a specific different part from a place with a bad reputation, which seems to be the only solution I can find. Pics at the bottom, 4371 or AV04371 is $36.80 for 50 feet http://www.perfectfit.com/product.aspx? ... _id=154178 $1.14/ft or $37.24 for 50 feet http://www.marketelf.com/product_detail ... oduct=4912 I'll try to find out a year/make/model of car that uses this stuff.
That was really helpful. :roll: I'll refrain from expressing my (and others') level of frustration and time spent searching this and other forums, Internet retailers, and GM sources trying to find this stuff. If you think the answer is in your link, or otherwise readily revealed, please show me where.
Maybe this will help. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9933 I realize it doesn't actually answer the question you asked, but it is a pretty extensive thread about the weatherstripping needed. I hope you can find your answer in there somewhere. Andy
Thanks for the feedback guys. I hope I don't sound too ornery but that is exactly the thread that finally pushed my frustration level to exasperation. My order was on the truck headed my way a couple hours after I ordered so hopefully these new places will turn out to be good vendors. Under $50 for 50 feet shipped. I realize there is a metric farkton of information to be absorbed and redundancy gets frustrating. I very much appreciate all you kind souls who help everyone out so much.
