Suggestions - Weatherstrip above Windshield
« on: October 02, 2024, 02:01:07 »
I fully admit to being lazy, but have a 1970 California Coupe with original-ish looking rubber. It is starting to come loose and flaps around and flies when driving.

Below are a couple of pics. Scotch tape looks terrible.

What is the best source for a replacement and hopefully a link to buy it? I know I can just black silicone it back down, but trying to weigh out options.

There is not supposed to be any weatherstripping there. The rubber you taped down is supposed to be affixed to the hardtop, in a channel made for that.
