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 is the latch and side window top rubber from my top. See the aluminum plate front lip mounted on stand-off cast acrylic blocks? See the two piece side window rubber and how tall it is? If I remember right, the lower rubber piece was a medium sized J-shaped profile with the longer leg dropping inside window into the cabin. The upper rubber piece was more of a wedge to fill in the space between the side curvature of the plex top and the lower J-ribber piece. I am pretty sure this side window top rubber was the original supplied with my top. This is also the only photo I have of my top that shows just the end of the front foam rubber weatherstripping between the aluminum plate and plex S-top nested against the side window rubber. The weatherstripping is simply glued to the plex with contact cement. This front rubber was about 1/2 in square in profile and had a concave leading edge to gasket against the 914 windshield hoop. This rubber was for keeping wind noise and rain out. The rear rubber profile I also replaced with a stock profile piece, I found both standard profiles at JC Whitney – they matched the originals exactly.
