I was screwing around with an old top and discovered that the old seals on the sides are a real bitch to get out. Anybody got a special technique for replacing these?

It took me a few hours to get my top put back together. I found the secret is to use GLYCERINE to lube the seals up. It works wonders! You can buy it at the supermarket in a little dark brown/black bottle near the isopropyl alcohol and hydrogen peroxide.
To get them out I would pop one corner out with a screwdriver (be careful) and slowly pull it up and out of the channel. |
