well i tried/am trying to replace t top seals
i ordered some after market seals for both sides. after hours of battle with the old seals, i got them off and pretty well cleaned.
turns out the seals i have are REALLY thick, like i had to struggle just to get the top back under the lip. i didnt glue it in, just set it all in to see out it would fit.
now there is a pretty significant gap between the top of the window and the t top, im starting to think i am in way over my head.
dealership wants to charge me 1000 bucks and i cant seem to find anyone else to do it....
what did i get myself into... =/

If a fellow member from this board can't help, check out craigslists... I've found mostly good people out there for help with my firebird... (beware, there are bad ones!)
