Re: Weather stripping

You can get it almost anywhere that sells restoration parts..

Softseal is a good brand.
Try the Paddock or First Generation, or some board sponsors like Hawkes...

Re: Weather stripping

I like the looks of the seals 1A Dan,

How well do these seals work and last for.Im in need of good ttop seals..I cant for the life of me find exactly where my leak is in the centre of the ttop bar.Im more afraid that even if i replace the seal..the bar itself might be leaking aswell.

Re: Weather stripping

as many of the fellow members will tell you, its all in the install. Our seals are warrantied for 10 years, but if you're not extra picky about your install on the t-tops, they will continue to leak. I will be doing new seals on mine in the coming months and having used metro before (our supplier) on a 3rd gen, I'll gladly use them again.
