T-top seal dimensions and maybe a clear pic!

Hey Guys, 1st post, but wanted to thank everyone for all the valuable information I've been getting on here since buying 2 3rd gen camaros in last few months.
The problem: I bought a set of T-Top seals (top to window seal) and when it arrived and I was installing, I noticed that it was not only 2" longer than my factory seals(not C&C t-roof) but the screw hole attachments were 3" different than mine. The screw attachments were so far off that they wouldn't have been able to fit on my t-top hardware.
The company I bought them from eBay originally thought it was an issue with my T-Tops, but I compared on two cars(87 and 85) with T-Tops that measured 30 1/4" at the t-bar center and neither matched up to the moldings I received. (edit: the company told me today there was a mistake with wrong seals sent)
I would appreciate if someone could measure their t-top seals(outer seal that window closes against) and let me know. Mine are approx. 24" long at furthest end.


Appreciate any help!

I just heard back from the company and the seals were the wrong size, but before they send me replacements, I would appreciate if someone could let me know how long their T-Top seals are and the distance between the screws attaching to T-tops.
I'm in Canada and it's a real hassle to send stuff back if they're the wrong size.
Thanks

My weatherstripping is approx. 25" long and the distance between the centerlines of the the two plastic mounting pieces is approx. 19.5 ". Hope this helps.
