'72 vert, weatherstrip.....
Seems the only time the convertible tops have sealed correctly on the driver window is with the top I bought it with in '95, it's SO bad now that I can feel the breeze, especially on the vertical strip on rear edge.....funny as the pass side seals fine, and is of same vintage....
BUT I have had two tops on it after the one I bought it with, the first was a total screw up and not made correctly, it was WAY too short on the side window rear measure....so it hung down so far I had to butcher it up, and so I got tired ot it, and changed yet again, this one fits fine...BUT like the messed up top, the seals just refuse to settle in and freeking SEAL, like I said.....fine on pass side, 80 mph and no breeze, but at 30 mph on the driver side, I feel the damn breeze...
the rubber seems the same on each side, and far as I know, a stupid design....I think it needs be a foam like on the windshield frame edge.....at any rate, who makes a nice soft supple rubber seal I can bolt into place on this and get HELL OVER IT!!!!!

Who made the weather stripping on it now? CRC is about the best as far a weather stripping is concerned.
