I need this as well for when I put on my new top this Spring. If we are both lucky, Lon will come along with some sage advice about where to scroe this stuff. If I recall correctly, we can expect to pay a couple hundred plus for this.
In the meantime, I suggest you go to the Home Depot and find some stick-on weatherstriping. I'm using some of this in various places with good effect.

Hawks is having them all reproduced. Bruce told me sometime in mid January, and he is going to call me as soon as they are ready.

Hawks will have the market cornered. There is no where else to get these parts. They could charge whatever they want. Hopefully they dont try to stick it to us.

I don't need this right now but if it does come available I will probably buy just to have it on hand for when the time comes...

Oh, great, now it looks like I'm gonna need this stuff as well, and a new top not long from now. Another bunch of money down the drain. Reminds me of when I used to own a boat...
I really love my vert, but sure is a labor of love!
