Convertible weatherstripping Question
I just bought a NOS #5 bow weatherstripping for my ragtop. This one seals the back of the top to the tonneau lid.
My original weatherstripping is torn on both ends and the L shaped brackets are gone. The L bracket is molded into both ends of the weatherstripping. Where EXACTLY do I attach the new weatherstripping ends with the L bracket to the ragtop frame?

Okay, I just went and braved the 30mph winds and rains we are experiencing here in the Keys and looked. On the "B" pillar of the convt top, where the rear window weather strip attaches, down low on the back side of that pillar, facing the rear, there should be a screw hole. You may have to move the bottom corner of the top out of the way to see it. That flap on the end of the weatherstripping just bends down. It's really not very effective at keeping the water out of that spot on the top.
Just a hint, I used some cheap stuff to attach my new weatherstrip and was disappointed. So after an afternoon of cleaning the old crap out I used 3M adhesive. AWESOME stuff. However, get the black 3M, not the Yellow!
