Nice work on the conversion!
Towards the end of summer, after my T-top install, I started to get some creaking sounds. Which is normal to hear from T-top Fieros. I was able to stop the noise with a lot of tack welds, along the front and rear, part of the main frame. As for the gaskets, 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/[This message has been edited by 3.8 SC (edited 06-16-2007).]

Is that price for both driver's and passenger's side? If so then it's not a bad deal if it only requires a little rework at the b-pillar.

It is for the weather seals only, Left and right. We'll wait and see what 3.8SC comes up with

Those last pics are great! The t-tops make the car look so much more exotic and expensive

Sorry for the delay, I have posted this before in other T-top gasket related threads without much feedback.
Here is the sales receipt, when I bought the gaskets. I did make one mistake on the price, now the I found the receipts.
I paid $148 for the gaskets and $95 for the P-seals. The P-seal came from the sunroof doctor. But CJ pony parts should have the P-seals as well.
I called the order in. I told them, that I needed a set of gaskets for an 86 Mustang.[This message has been edited by 3.8 SC (edited 06-17-2007).]

I must have missed all those other threads...I am very excited!!! 
Can you explain what modifications you had to make at the B-pillar? Pics would be even better. Thanks.
