I have searched :? and so far it seems that tomorrow i will be off to clark rubber in hope of finding the right profile seal, unless anyone has any other great tips ;)

I just fitted a factory 'plastic' hardtop front and rear, off a 85 nt to my 95 shorty wt sierra, the back sealed up great, but the front has a gap on the sides where the windscreen support frame above the doors is, it needs some kind of seal and the rear bit of the front roof where it meets the b pillar also needs a seal as well.

Any ideas appreciated.

I have a similar problem, i need the "clips" that would hold the front section of such a roof to my sierra. Anyone know where I could pick some up from?

I suggest modification...

I have fitted a similar roof to a mates car and when we found problems we went to a foam and rubber shop and then went to a hardware shop and not bunnings sort of thing. We actually went to a shop that sells HARDWARE components for different locks and tie downs etc etc.

In the end it went together nicely and seals out the weather. Also cost us approx $50-$60 to complete the task.

Yes , I went to a boat chandler and they sold latches for tying down lids etc but they seemed too big. Where are the best spare parts places?
