I'd like to replace the seals on the chassis for the doors and the targa top on my '73. The door seals seem like they'd be pretty easy to do, but I've read the targa seal is more difficult. Any advice? Even better...anyone have video of the replacement?

TIA

I did the two targa seals above the doors windows. You have to use a flat tip like a 3/8" wide screwdriver to push in each section. You cannot slide this stuff in the channel. I did use some glycerin to help it snap in, 1/4" at time. Drive side took more than an hour. I did the other in about 20 minutes. I lined up the diagonal cut piece and left the other long the started cutting it back as I test fitted until I had a tight fit.
