Jim, That would be great to have some nice repros of these. http://stores.restorationspecialties.com/92212-ws/ This is pretty close to the top rail profile. What's nice is that it comes in a length and you can install and make the cuts like you say for the miter. The header seals in the Soffseal kits are about the the only thing worthwhile in them if you're worried about originality. The outer one once installed is almost identical and the inner one is pretty close, just the ends into the window rail need to be glued in to get their shape proper. As you said the pieces above the windows are not correct the profile and the ones at the quarter windows are no where near correct. All in all not a bad kit if you're just looking to seal things up but not 100% correct to original. Mike Afflerbach

Still working on the new header pieces AND the top sections. The Soffseal ones that were the only ones available before DIDN'T MITER THE TOP SECTIONS. They had the correct profiles but just cut them straight!!! I do NOT understand some companies. They are probably all golfers not really car guys. For cryin out loud, MAKE THE STUFF CORRECTLY. Measure. Review the prints. Test fit. Repeat until correct. Heres a picture of NOS ones (that I MISSED buying!) Yoiu can see the mitered ends on the top sections. 2 are sponge rubber. The ones at the back edge of the qtr glass are hard, flocked rubber. https://www.forebodiesonly.com/foru...lenger-conv-nos-top-weatherstrips.19646/

Let me know as I have a set of original pieces (most nice enough that I planned to re-use them on my car since as you stated the current repro ones are not correct). Chas
