Hi Mark and all other list members with the 67-68 convertibles.
I talked with my friend that does all my interior work and he told me to
take the seals above the side windows and the holders that they fit in out.
And to get some Styrofoam insulation and put under the metal strips and then
to put the seals back in and this should bring the seals to the top of the
glass.
I am going to get the stuff today and give it a try I will let you know if
it works.
Bob Hanekamp.
