Default T-Top seals

ok guys,
i am looking for best recommendation of manufacturer for my '73... for my second set to purchace.

i ordered a set from Corvette Rubber, but they came with only 18 rivets, and my original has 19. as well as one of their rivets is in a different location, and, theirs also has additional rubber thickness at the rear outside corner.

unfortunetaly, i went ahead and tried to use these... made some mods to hopefully get them to work... but even with letting them set compressed in the sun, i cannot see these EVER settling in proper alignment. ..as well as i cannot get my windows rolled up all the way.
it seems that there has got to be a better fitting option... i just must not have researched well enough.

btw... i did a forum search for any past suggestions, (this group is the BEST!) and there seemed to be a "preffered resource, but now i am not finding that info again... sorry for reduntant question. :o

The preferred source is Corvette Rubber. I think you just got the wrong ones.
