Good news for us convertable owners!!!

I just tore my weatherstripping that goes above the windsheild and down the a pillers that seals the very front of the top. I had asked bruce at Hawks if they had any left since they have been discontinued, He replied that they are having them remade, check back in a month. Hopefully this trend continues with the rest of the discontinued seals.
