It is near perfect.
It is so good that I am able to id all the seals. I will be sourcing seal matches and when I have them all I will offer replacement seals to others. I will take and post pics this weekend. |

This bottom photo shows the front lip which is nothing more than a 0.125 in. thick aluminum sheet powdercoated black. It is mounted on spaced cast acrylic blocks (black) that are glued to the plex top. The lip slightly curves to conform to the tops curvature. The front latch hardware on my top looked very much like OEM 914 latches but were not, they were custom. The rear mounts are as previously described – cast acrylic blocks with modded eye bolts. Note the side window rubber on this top, much lower profile than on mine, also this top is missing the rear edge weatherstripping that wrapped around the edge of the Targa bar. The 1st three photos here show an even different front edge detail it looks like a formed fiberglass Z-shape to match the tops contour, see later posts. There should be a foam rubber square gasket stuffed into that linear slot to keep wind/rain out. Looks better than the aluminum plate to my eye.
