When I put my roof on I do not have the big seal that is on the underside. I could just cut this straight across the back?

I see what you have going on. The roof is the same shape as roof you have. I think I may be able to modify, or make a custom rear seal that would be able to close the gap.

So Mark are you saying to not cut your top at all and fill the gap between my targa bar and your roof with a custom seal? If you could please post a picture of the aft end of your top. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I need to back out of the group buy. I really want one, but I just wrecked my Acura Daily driver and I need $500.00 for the deductible.

No problem to both.
Emails will be going out this week. I'm not taking any money until I have some fiberglass in hand to work on these. |

Mark, please post a picture of the bottom/back side of your top. I don't think I will be cutting, but I just want to get a visual before I jump in. Thanks
