I know realoem is a bit high vs. real world costs, but I paid less than that for the entire hardtop! Time to go to plan B. ;)

I suggest you get in contact with Heeter, Stat. You could end up like him.

I put the link on the top of the page. The first one goes around the windows/front of the hardtop and the second one seals the base where it sits on the back of the car.

Both of mine are in decent condition, I just figured if they were reasonable I'd pick them up. Guess not.

PS Farbin...err, nm.

Use the ones you have if they don't leak. If they leak, improvise!

Real OEM will not remote link pics.

And,

Who is this PSFarbin you speak of?

pic doesnt work

[E30ownerwithanopinion]

talk to Blunt

[FredK]

peepee small farbin

[VacMan]

The link is above the pic. Or you can refresh the page and it should show up. Regardless, my point has to do with the prices, not a realoem diagram of a hardtop.

Tim

PS PSFarbin is a guy I know, Farbin.

By George, those are some crazy prices. Moulded rubber is like platinum.
