Yep, I don't like the prices that people are charging for the gaskets or P-seals. I use the gaskets and P-seals for the 86 Ford Mustang T-tops. I would have to dig up the receipts, but I believe, I paid $180.00 for the two seals and the two gaskets, shipped to my house. C&C made the T-tops for those cars as well. I did have to rework the gasket at the B-pillar. But that was it. The reproduction P-seals for the Mustang, look better than the old Fiero P-seals, to me. They are solid black rubber with a felt like material glued on. I got my Mustang parts from CJ Pony Parts. http://www.cjponyparts.com/




Are you referring to the gasket seals that go around the perimeter of the door and T-Top? Was there ever a write up on how to modify these Mustang gaskets?

There are a bit more details on page 1.

It was done by 3.8 SC and Yes, he is referring to the Weather Seals. he used the 86 Mustang that had C&C T-tops. This is the only thread I know of:

Earl-R used the F-82 Camaro C&C seals, details on the same thread.

No, I have cut it to fit on the windshield A pillar. I liked the look of it better. (see photos above)

This was posted by another member on another thread, I think it's worth posting here to keep some good info at one place.

Ok, I just snapped and edited some pictures for posting, so here goes, a little introduction to the difference between CJB and non-CJB t-tops. With a couple pictures of the glass seals so you can tell the difference.
88 CJB glass, note the Cars & Concepts logo on it:

This is a non-CJB glass, it also has a Cars & Concepts log on it:

This is the union of the CJB glass seal and the CJB B-pillar seal:

This is the union of the CJB glass seal and the CJB A-pillar seal:

This is the union of a NON-cjb glass seal to my CJB B-pillar seal: (note the shallower angle of the glass seal, the non-cjb door seals are bigger than CJB to fill in that gap)

This is the union of a NON-cjb glass seal to my CJB A-pillar seal:

This is the B-pillar side of my CJB glass seal:

This is the B-pillar side of a NON-cjb glass seal:

This is the A-pillar side of my CJB glass seal:

This is the A-pillar side of a NON-cjb glass seal: (Note the different shape of the front of the seal)

This is the start of the CJB door seal, just below the A-pillar:

This is the CJB door seal at the peak of the A-pilllar:

This is the CJB door seal at the peak of the B-pillar:

This is the CJB door seal at the midpoint of the B-pillar

Ok, everyone knowledgeable about T-tops check these out, please let me know if any of this information is wrong. My car does have the CJB code, and I'm going under the assumption that the door seals and driver's side glass are actually CJB. That is what was passed down to me when I bought car. Passenger side glass is different because original owner broke passenger top. To my knowledge, the passenger side glass is non-CJB.
Sleebie, I hope this helps you find matching glass and seals, because you want to be able to put these on if it rains without having to bail out your car.

I need to replace the t top seals on my 87 and am considering the cjponyparts WSTT6 seals for an 86 Mustang. Has anybody else installed these and do they leak? Also, will the Mustang seals for the glass panel work on the Fiero?

Thanks
