Fortunately I have a brand new NOS set as posted before that I found in my garage.. I was looking to install them soon in like a week..but in thinking to benefit the forum and many owners before I install them.. are there any manufacturers like Rodney Dickman or others that would be able to use my set to replicate the seals and reproduce them for all the other T-Top owners or would that be out of reach?

1988 Pontiac Fiero Gt (fully optioned, factory leather, 5-speed, CJB T-Tops: Black w/ gray interior and blk wheels)
1992 GMC Typhoon #0203
1971Chevorlet Corvette 454cu/ LS5/ 4-speed/ convertible
1993 BMW 850 Ci 6-speed V-12

I think this was tried and the cost was too high. You may want to search the forum for more info.

You might want to ask at a company that can make these, like Steele Rubber: http://steelerubber.com/

Are the seals the 88 CJB type or the non CJB found on 87s and earlier?

I believe its the CJB type from the 1988s.. my fiero gt is an 1988 CJB..

This seal has the headliner lock integrated into the seal and it also has a deflector for the door glass... which im pretty sure was only on the CJB coded cars... anybody have any pictures to decipher the two? any other areas to point out?

talked to them today.. said they will look into it? whatever that means ..but they said they only produce their products when their is a high enough demand unfortunately.

Just a suggestion - but why not talk to infinitewill who has successfully made the trunk seal and maybe he maybe able to give you some pointers

jon

sure would be nice to have those seals in production.

I thought that Rodney had said he was going to look into it a few months back? Talk to him, maybe? Maybe we should all do a mass mailing to Steele?

This is another prime reason this is a great forum,
I don't have and never had a TTop...but your offer of the seals to someone as an example for reproducing them is classy----
