well i tried/am trying to replace t top seals
i ordered some after market seals for both sides. after hours of battle with the old seals, i got them off and pretty well cleaned.
turns out the seals i have are REALLY thick, like i had to struggle just to get the top back under the lip. i didnt glue it in, just set it all in to see out it would fit.
now there is a pretty significant gap between the top of the window and the t top, im starting to think i am in way over my head.
dealership wants to charge me 1000 bucks and i cant seem to find anyone else to do it....
what did i get myself into... =/

Where are you located? If you are close enough to st Louis and wanted to bring the car over I'd help you out.
