Its been 19 months since the last time I drove the car. Keith at Ice Nine Customs is going to be doing the squirting. http://www.iceninecustoms.com/

I was looking at new door weatherstip last night... Damn that stuff is expensive. I looked at:

Hawks Third gen
Year One
A1 Auto (or is it 1A?)

Anywhere else? Do I need to get GM stuff or is the aftermarket ok?

Yes, it is expensive. On my 87 formula I ordered some aftermarket stuff that I *think* was branded Metro, and it didnt' fit in the t-top areas AT ALL. I ended up buying the GM stuff which was $700 back in 2001. I'm going to be doing it again on another third gen and I think I'll try aftermarket again because of the cost... I will say this, the GM stuff on my `87 doesn't leak after 9 years. From what I've been told, the install makes a lot of difference on the t-top cars. You shouldn't have that much issue with a hardtop car.

Todd,
This brand I assume:
http://www.metrommp.com/

~$215 from Rockauto.com versus $625 at Classic Industries.

yeah, I'll give that a shot first. It'd have to be pretty bad for me to decide its not worth it and spend 3x that for the GM stuff.

And since I have lexan windshield and hatch and no carpet, I don't need perfection. But I'm sure it will leak less than when I had T-tops.

yup...thats the stuff. I'm sure I have pics somewhere at home but the issue I had was that I had to stretch it a LOT to get it in the right places. Once I glued it down, the rubber pulled and distorted. Since I was trying to fix the leak that had ruined the carpet and floorpan, I wanted to be sure it sealed. The hardtop cars have far fewer corners so you'll probably be ok.
