I've been looking at some seals on my '74 and the list of replacement seals available from a certain member here.
Help me shop! Here's some I think I need, but I'm trying to go for the best value proposition and, frankly, trying to be lazy about it. I'm not sure which are glue versus which clip/pop into place. Are there any that are pointless without invasive discovery and tackling of rust in channels etc? Not really planning on having any paint or body work done any time soon, although I think about it a lot... So any difficulty ratings, "do it, it's a no-brainer", ones I should add, or other comments are very much welcome.

Great stuff so far, thank gang!
Yes, this will be sourced from MarkMikey914rubber Maybe after I replace these I'll be a little less nauseated when washing my car, and maybe feel a tad less anxious of getting caught in the rain. Figured to spring for the "plugged" version of the targa bar seals. Hope I'm not missing any low-hanging fruit. Main targa seal I figured I'd skip for now due to expense and my impression that that one's tougher. |

Took about ten minutes to install, and was pretty cheap I think. It replaces just the center section, and keeps the original ends, but made a huge difference in my car. |
