Header Seal Source Found

I just saw this ad in my latest edition of "Muscle Machines" and I'm not sure if this has been posted here so I'm going to post it in case someone finds it in a search later...

Keeping the weather out of your 1987-92 GM F-Body convertible is a lot easier now with new header seals from Metro Moulded Parts. The seals conform perfectly against the windshield header and the header bow.

Cost $240.70

800-878-2237

I've not used these seals but if you are having trouble sourcing one, here ya go.

Re: Header Seal Source Found

Thanks for the source. Both ends of my rear bow have separated at the screw attachment and I've developed a leak.

Re: Header Seal Source Found

I'd like to hear a testimonial before forking over that much cash for one seal. So, who's going to be the guinea pig so I can feel better?

Re: Header Seal Source Found

I posted here several months ago to see if anyone has used an aftermarket one.No one had.I emailed the vendor and asked if he had any feedback from customers on the fit and finish,hope to hear back from him.
