07/24/09 Added pictures further down in thread showing installation



Well, I promised some announcements this week.

This is what I was wanting to announce. Unfortunately the left and right sides aren't ready yet. I've been told next week. I have the jigs set up for these and have started to put together the tops, this is actually a bit more work to get correct than I thought, but after burning up about a dozen pieces I finally got it right.

If you haven't guessed by now. Yes it's the 3 part main targa seal. I've been working on these for quite some time now, since I heard the original tooling was no longer viable. The good news is these will be less expensive! The will also utilize the aluminum clip system so they will not rust, and I've hopefully made them slightly easier to install.

Another thing I did was to extrude the top seal 6 months before the assembly of the seal. This is because rubber will shrink over time, after it has had some time to be 99% cured it is as dimensionally stable as you can get. This is natural rubber like the OEM seal, not a sanaprene or other plastic hybrid. It is more flexible, and I have them cut so you will not have to stretch these to make them fit.

The corner blocks look OEM and have the screw hole to mount them onto the top corner frame.

Product availability - these will be ready to ship in 3 week and will ship in order they are paid for. I'm not taking any money yet, but would like to start a list of those who want one.

These are $175. WIth the assembly time on these I will be able to process about 5 per week ( hopefully a few more).

-Mark

Mark,
Have you designed them to stay on the windshield frame when removing the top? I've had a couple that come off with the top removal, not enough grip on the frame.
If they stay with the windshield frame, I'm in for one as well.

The issue with the seal comming off with the roof should be solved. I have been using the "repair kit", which is the top seal only without the plugs, and I have had no problem with the aluminum clip.

Yup, I'll take one.

That should get me a head start on not having a swimming pool everytime I wash the car.

I would like one as well.

I bought all your other targa seals but have not put them on yet.

Anyone have a picture of where this goes?

Thanks,

John

I'm in for 1 (plus a bunch of other seals while writing the check).

Thanks for starting production on these; I was really hoping for an alternative to factory around this price point. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
