If you ever get a tear or rip in the foam rubber seals, go to a RC or hobby store and pick up some cheap CA glue... I haven't needed to do this, but it's the proper glue and in most cases if you're careful, it shouldn't even be noticeable.

I'll be doing this with my weather strip very soon!

What I also need is the rubber seal between the drivers door glass and rear glass. Does anyone know if I could get that anywhere please?

Thanks

I got the box of seals and some other things. I think there's a left and right of both the center section and the front section with the little "foot" on them. I haven't test fitted them or held them to the car so I'm not exactly sure which side is which yet. I am pretty sure I only need the driver center section. I remember at least 2 people needed one or two of these seals. After I confirm their fit and make sure they are all perfect, I'll give you a price...realllly waaaay below the "list".

Do you still need these? Both sides? What about the rear section over the rear side windows?

OK...I have Hypoluxo, Orlando, and H20BOY all #3 right side middle section??

I thought one or two of you needed the front section (like #2).

I hope I have successfully attached an image. If so, that is the piece of weatherstripping I need. It is the front-most piece on the convertible top over the passenger front window.

I found the missing piece in my trunk under the spare today! Thanks for thinking of me.

oldjag, I just re-checked the correct part on the car, its the 'front' right (passenger) #2 , same as hypo it appears. Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for the confirmation request.

OK. I received the right and left side third pieces...which are the shorter ones right behind the ones you both are identifying. And, I got both sides of the ones with the little angle "foot". By the pics in the diagram they look like the correct ones for both of you. If you can verify the exact shape I think we can get you both set up. I'm pretty sure there is a part number on each piece, but you'd have to remove them first.

I just looked at them again. They are definitely the pieces you need, but one is for the right and one is for the left.

There's only 3 pieces so we should be able to be smater than the rubber or the top.

OK....the right front piece (passenger, #2) is already spoken for, but I have the left side front and the right side middle (short, #3) pieces left.

Wow, Just stared reading this thread. I will take the right side #3 if it is still there. I also need a right #2, but I see that is gone. Can I order another one? You can PM me with payment info. Thanks

Well, I almost got in on the good deal, but thanks nonetheless. You'll find buyers for those other pieces, the front and center pieces seem to be the first to get damaged over time.

I'll see if I can get another piece or two, but it's hard at that price.

Do you still need the driver side front piece (like #2 in the diagram)? I need to know because others are interested.
