need help w/weatherstripping
Hey Guys - I just bought a white 1981 (lovin' it!) - and there were these 3 new weatherstrips inside - can anyone tell me where they are supposed to go? Thanks a lot!

I don't see how the other 2 could be for T tops though (I thought these were kind of square, no?)
Additional thoughts on those 2 in the first pic welcomed / appreciated!

The pair of shorter seals look to be side window pillar seals, but don't look like they'd fit a C3. The longer single seal looks like something off of a more modern car and looks to be too long for a C3 unless it goes under the front bumper somewere....

Do you have the weatherstrip in place under the hood? The t top ones should be more like a "D" shape. Sorry for the bad info. The owner of the car didn't say what they were for?

I saw a couple just like em on the Willcox site which were Top strips for C4's I think (so he probably just ordered the wrong ones at some point, and so still had them)
I just ordered the complete Weatherstrip kit from Willcox. (Customer service there seems to be pretty excellent!)
Thanks Guys!!
