MOON T - top info needed
Just bought a set of these this weekend.
Need to replace the weather stripping.
Has anybody worked on these or have experience with what seals will work?
Pre-'78? or '78-'82?
They are the aftermarket MOON brand.
The tops I purchased are set up for a '78-'82 car with the slide bolt lock, but not sure if they used the early style or later style seals?

The easiest way to tell the difference between 69-77 and 78-82 t-top weatherstrips is by checking for metal in the rubber. The earlier weatherstrips has no metal in them, the outer side of the weatherstrip (where it seals to the door glass) needs a retainer strip to hold it to the top. The 78-82 weatherstrip has metal inside the section of rubber that meets the door glass, eliminating the retainer.

I'll check that out.
