This morning I was putting my top into my truck and forund the round bead seperating from the bottom portion of the seal. The seal is ony 2 years old. Anyone experience this? Fix suggestion or do I need to replace. My car is a garage baby so I can only assume a bad product run. Mike

Replaced that seal 31 years ago with a non-factory (so shoot me) seal from AA. Never had any problems with separation. I do liberally apply glycerin to all me seals annually.
Still, curious as to what Mikey might offer. |

Still, curious as to what Mikey might offer. Thanks for the advice on the clycerin I'll try it. I have bought several items from AA and have had no problems with thier products. My concern is that I am retired and want to make all my dollars count so if I can save/repair what I got it is a great advantage to me. Now that I have the time to work on my car I have to live on a budget. Thanks Mike |
