Well, I put new OEM side and rear seals on my targe top - the old ones were were a mix of originals fixed (?) with black 'shoe goo' (a process that has some merit if done well - these were not done well) and reproductions that had all failed in just a few years.
I also installed the big seal that wraps around the windshield and down the front vent windows that the targa top sets into. This turned out to be the hardest of the bunch - and now that I have done it (twice until I got it right) I can say it's not as hard after the first two attempts. It's still hard, but survivable. So, now I cannot see daylight thru the edges of the targa top any more, and the cab is water proof. Next I have the trunk seals to do. Having seen the poor performance of non-OEM seals, I have decided to use OEM seals for the trunks too. The front trunk had a repro seal that was about 3 years old that had shrank and seperated in about 6 places. The rear trunk seals look like to originals, and are badly cracked - but they have stayed the same size over the last 28 years. |
