Riki, me too 😂

Ross,
Thanks for the reminder on the convertible glass, though on double checking the parts book it gives the same weatherstrip for all. I'm not sure how this works out, but one can always test-fit the weatherstrip before install, and trim/re-adhere if necessary.

Photo attached shows the "problem" I had with the Steele windshield weatherstripping. Called Steele and they told me to try another method, nothing wrong with their weatherstrip. I'm going to use a different glass guy to see what he says.

Sorry to see that. Steele reverse-engineered the profile and length instead of using the factory profile. As they do for all their stuff and that's why it often doesn't fit quite right.

By the way, I have a 2 month lead time on getting a shipment in, but I might be able to get one to you early if you would like.
