Need a little help
Anyone in the Dallas area want to help a complete n00b out installing weatherstripping on just the T-tops on a 1980. I'm about to buy it and do it myself b/c COD wants $850 to do it. I can buy the kit and all the supplies for under $100, so I figured I would try it first, but I have no idea what I'm doing. I can follow written instructions, but I would really like someone with some experience to take me through at least one of them.
Thanks,
Brian

I did mine on my 78 a few years ago. I assume you are trying to stop leaks. The actual install of the weatherstripping is extremely easy. Its making the tops seal to the glass/body that is VERY labor intensive. I have spent many hours trying to get mine to seal, when I adjust them enough to seal one place, they leak another. With the flexing and saggin the C3 body does, its very difficult to get them to seal up now that they have aged.

I think that's the one I have. Great. I guess I'll try some different things.
