The 5th bow strip is easy to make youself with some Soffseal strip on a roll. The other one can be a little trickier. I might have an extra laying around. I'll check this weekend and let you know by Monday.

havent been on for a while and insted of making a new topic i just decided to bring this back from the dead.

I have still been unable to find my weatherstripping for my convertible. i need the rear seal and the top of the pass window

does anyone know where i can get either for a decent price, i know they still make the rear one and its easy to find but i need the side one real bad.

I bought my vert in nov or 04 and still have not driven it legaly. i had plates on it for a year but no insurance.

ps. I love your blue vert, mine kinda looked like that once before i got my hands on it. except it is an RS

i'd still like to know how to do that also, might be worth it to just buy the new 5th bow anyhow, it has the special bolts to hold the strip to the top on the 2 sides. your going through all the trouble of making you car nice, just spend the extra bucks and make it right, i should have done that with my top but i didnt want to mess it up, the vinyl top i bought fits like crap. if i keep my car i'll replace it again and do the cloth.

I'm going to keep checkin up on your page and see how your paint job is comming along, my car looked like that at one point but i put it back together, i'll be taking it all apart when it comes time to paint. My car was origionally blue but i think i might paint it white and stripe it in the origional blue color. so the stripes will match what i dont paint on the car, like under the hood and under the car.
