+1 and which seals would be included?

[Justin B]

Maybe. I think I just need that long one across the front of the car that seals to the front corner of the doors, cause whatever seal that is on mine is messed up and if its raining hard enough to get water in the seals gutter area if my car is facing down hill it comes dripping in right on my left leg and/or seat... =/

I would like to know which seals are include. I have the front one already so I just need the rest.

[VacMan]

I only need the windshield gasket, but if you can save me a buck or two I'd be interested.

[Mastrcruse]

The windshield is the one I also need but would be willing to get all if possible for a good $.

Lol that's the one that leaks most often, and unfortunately, is also the most expensive. I'm also working something out with rwdrift right now, but if we don't get anything sorted out by Monday, then Patrick will be getting a phone call.

Could anyone chime in with some experience? If it leaks between the A-pillar window and the A-pillar bar, what do you need to replace?

The windshield trim isn't cabrio specific therefore won't have anything to do with this possible group buy

Just hit me up during the week and I'll get your windshield stuff sorted out. :)

damn man i did this 2 years ago and it cost me a shitload

[DaveSmed]

I may be interested as well.

[Maluco]

interested... If I remember correctly, I need the rear horizontals and uprights on both sides.

I have seen on a couple of the verts that when it leaks in between the A-pillar there is a small cut in the rubber seal right above the window. I have seen it on about 3 verts and all of them leaked on the drivers knee. Look close enough and the cut usually starts at the front of the window rubber seal (on the top) and goes about 2-3 inches toward the rear of the car. I didn't see mine until it seperated alittle bit while putting the top down.

Usually, also, the window is not adjusted right. Mine comes down from the sunvisors and I would put money on the front gasket above the windshield.<-this is the one I'm talking about which is vert specific. My last post was a little confusing, like the water was coming through my windshield.

I'm in for the front seal (I think it is part # 5431810090). A while back KO said they would do it for $130 shipped but I can't find the post.

I have the same issue. As a temporary solution, placing a 1" x 2" piece of neoprene (folded over once) in the top front corner and rolling up the window has worked great except that it looks crappy and needs to be reset every time you open the door.
