These are the two weatherstrips for a convertible. The lower one goes on the body in front of the deck lid, the top one goes on the soft top frame and mates to the lower one when the top is up.

Mr Wilcox. Do you have any pictures of this on a car? Or could you tell me what page in the AIM?

Andy,

What year is the car? Is it a 69? If so 1969 had an early and later version of the weatherstrip shown in the lower picture. Also, 1969 AIM really doesn't show a good illustration of this part but the later AIM's did.

The lower pictured part also used a black plastic wedge on top of it... .but tell me what year the car is and I'll tell you the page. I don't have a good picture of one at home but tomorrow I could possibly take some.

Andy, I have a 70 in my shop but as luck would have it, both weatherstrips are missing. I took pictures today of where they belong and will add them to this post later today.

The Z style weatherstrips go in the jamb as shown, and the little blocks go on the end of the soft top frame. The best way to know which is which is to look on the bottom, they will be marked left and right hand. Install the Z rubbers first then you'll see how to orientate the blocks on the soft top so that they fit.

Willcox
