They may not be on the  forum right now, but a couple of members here have verts. They'll chime in eventually. Hang in there.

I'm going to let Eric handle this one, only because this is what the inside window area of my 85 looks like... Seems many things were changed in 86. possibly a lot of seals and weatherstripping too.

My God, I love the colors on that car.

Those rear windows are GM so any GM-type rear quarter window seal for old hardtops would work.
I got mine from JC Whitney. They change their part numbers often though, so I can't give you a specific number (their online selection sucks anyway).
Probably a 1968-72 Chevelle would work.

Jerry, the work they did to that car looks totally home made.
