Mark,  I'm glad the damage was not that great.  If the window gasket doesn't work for you because it's to a hardtop and you have to get a new one contact me off list as I would be willing to buy the one for the Hardtop and help offset your cost in being one for the Vert..

Subject: Snowstorm damage to my '64(update)




Well I spent the better part of the afternoon getting the snow off my garage-out-of-a-box. 
Overnight, one of the uprights pushed through the canvas covering. Since it's toast anyway, I cut a few small holes in it to let out the water. Then I pulled the GF's truck up next to the garage and stood on the hood and shoveled away. Once I got the weight off, I was able to push the crossbars up a bit to get the car clear. It looks like we can salvage it for the short term but putting in some bracing. 
The car needs a windshield and the speaker grille got pushed in a hair. Got away pretty light compared to some folks here. One lady lost three cars when the carport attached to her house dropped. I'm told a lot of folks lost these type shelters to this storm. 

here's an updated pic:

You can see how the pipes actually tore at their joints. 

A couple people mentioned insurance. No insurance on this one, unfortunately. Actually, I haven't even gotten around to putting it into my name. I drove all summer and fall on the previous owners tags and registration-with his blessing. Since I stopped driving it, I've been too poor. 

Is there a difference between a hardtop windshield gasket and convertible? I have a hardtop one brand new.
