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?

Are we talking about the vertical seals on the front of the roll bar/sail panel? Or the seals on the top?
The vertical channel on the roll bar has been "pinched" in a couple of places and you need to pry those spots with a screwdriver, then the rubber will slide or pull out fairly easily. No cutting necessary. |
