F/s 56-60 new hardtop rear weatherstrip
I am in the process of restoring my 59 hardtop and got a quantity deal on a few new rear window weatherstrips. These are the good ones that "The big hardtop place" sells for $220. Anyone on the forum who wants one, $165 with shipping included to the lower 48. I wanted to share this so we can all save a few bucks. PM me if you want one. These do not have the center hump for 61-62.
Here it is installed on my Hardtop, so I can say first hand the fit and quality is excellent.

Side Window photo of Weatherstrip
Here is a photo showing the side window installation just completed. Fit was excellent.
Will post more photos of the progress as they occur.
I think all but 2 of these weatherstrips are spoken for now, pending payment.

Rear Window Installed
Here's how it looks with the rear window installed. This is my original window (polished) and already had the holes drilled in it for the center hold down, but the fit was so good they lined up perfectly with the new weatherstrip.

For 61 -62 tops
61-62 in reply,
"If you have your original weatherstrip, you can splice the hump section from you original weatherstrip into the new 56-60 weatherstrip." That's what I have read, should work but never actually did one myself.

Outer Moldings Installed
For those of you following along on the progress of this top, here is the latest photo with the restored and polished outer reveal moldings installed:
I still have to add the corner and center clips but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Still got a couple of these excellent rear window weatherstrips available. If anyone wants one, this is what your final assembly will look like.

Still 2 left at the OLD PRICE
Still got 2 left at the OLD PRICE. There was a price increase on these and I can't get anymore at this price going forward, so this is it. If you are planning a Hardtop resto, you may want to get one and save it for when you are ready.
