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?

Question:
I've gone through the targa top seal replacement several times; Why not eliminate the metal channeling altogether. Instead of using the metal channels, use 1" double sided acrlic foam tape-like the kind used for trim molding ? This way the rubber can be put exactly where the best seal is achieved. Has anyone tried this already ? |
