$260 I was quoted, and the guy didnt know much about anything.
But he found out what he needed to find out and answered my Qs.
I dunno if my seal warrants a $260 replacement just yet, I'll try more RTV in the meantime.

Now what was said to me that these seals are coming in, but there was a list and these seals will go quickly.

If it truely is NLA from the usual places and you "need" one, then it might be worth $50 or more

don't expect them to come down in price and just hope they still have them when you decide that you do need one

I think I would be more inclined to wait and see.

If AA is getting them in, then call dave over at GPR and see what he says. They share inventories now, right?
I bought my front targa seal from Pelican a year or so ago. Can't beleive there is so much demand and not enought supply...

Where?

E-bay had some new ones about 3 weeks ago, I lost the bid, but it was still cheaper than AA, the seller also had some old ones too, I've been watching to see when he comes back. I bought a new from someone in the classifieds on the "Bird" he said he would get me the drivers side next time that he was out running around, he didn't tell me his source. I'll try to find out. But they are out there.

No, I am talking about the windshiled frame targa seal. It is a reproduction that they are working on, and they said they were going to be around $90.

No one has mentioned quality yet. I had a cheapo AA repro seal before and it died in about 3 months
I cant wait to hear the feedback on these items.

this guy was new, or very mis-informed.
He kept on asking people what seal i was inquiring about, I told him the three sectioned one that is on the windshield.
Mine is toast, and I mean hosed....
