April 20, 200420 yr Author comment_77967 I just got mine yoday.I still think we need to find the correct replacement rubber. If you are restoring your car, you might not want a replacement that looks out of place by being in better condition than the rest of the car.Too much new stuff would spoil the restoration.

April 21, 200420 yr Author comment_78065 I ordered mine from VB; $50 ea. I suppose you could go to the JY and measure the length of car doors, like the older GM sportscars, and assuming the squee-gees are the same profile, order for that model & put them on your Z.i.e. , the PROFILE is the most important, but you might get away with splicing the length. Best to get a one piece unit that does the whole job, of course.

VB stands for Victoria British Ltd.

May 9, 200420 yr Author comment_80254 Got some bad news, dudes....I took my chrome pieces over to the car ( at body shop) and compared it to the ones on the car.MUCH LONGER!BUT, the body shop guys "said" it was normal, and that you need to remove the plastic filler plugs on the ends, trim to length, then replace the plugs. I assumed they would be the same length, since you order them for each series car. Still need to find out which aftermarket rubber will fit, tho.
