Hardtop weatherstripping

[Roger]

I've been trying to locate a set of rubber weatherstripping seals for my OEM Snugtop hard top and no one I've contacted has been able to help me...not the manufacturer, Rallye in Gresham, Sprots Imports in Vancouver B.C. , or a local auto trim supplier. Does anyone have a good solution?

Snugtop was an aftermarket top - is that what you have or OEM?

If you are OK with aftermarket weatherstrip, then there are lots of alternatives. Pep Boys used to carry push on weatherstrip that worked fine. There are several weatherstrip specialty companies that have tons of profiles. Heck, even JC Whipme had several varieties from which you can choose.

Tell me what the profile looks like and I will see if I can help.

Check out this place and download their catalog.
They have lots of weatherstrip goodies.
A while back they had rubber items for roadsters , but they dropped the items a few years ago.
The only thing I can find now is the rubber mount for the antenna.

All,
Thanks for the quick, helpful replies. Sorry, I've been "off the air" for a few days...in the midst of a job search and handling some other personal issues. Yes, it's a Snugtop after market top. I checked the two web sites provided but didn't find anything matching the profile of the over window pieces...I think I can use something generic for the body and windshield seals.
It's kind of hard to describe the profile, but I'll try. The basic shape of the part that glues to the top is a 90 degree "L" with another section angling partially back from one side of the "L" to the other that the window contacts when the door is closed. Like I said, it's kind of hard to describe. Anyway, whatever help anyone may be able to provide in my locating this part will be greatly appreciated. In the mean time, I'll go up on the JC Whitney site and see what they may have. Thanks.

It is better to use JC Whitlesses catalog to check the weather stripping out. Not all of their stuff is online unless they have updated recently. Restoration Specialties that Sid mentioned have many different profiles and thier online catalog is excellent.

I went through the Restoration Specialties catalog a couple of times and couldn't match anything close to what I have. I'll get a JC Whitney catalog and see what I can find. Thanks, Steve.
