    I'm attempting to update the rubber seals on the top of my 65 Wildcat convertible but am having problems getting them to seal properly.
    The header seal and the 2 front side seals seem to be the main problem.

    I have been told that the early 65 header seal was a straight piece that joined the 2 front side seals which curved around from the side to the front.

    The revised version covers the whole front and curves around at the ends.
    The problem I am having is getting the new front seal to fit in with the new side seals as well as the verticle door pillar seal.

    Anyone done this recently and maybe have some good detailed photos they could send me.

    As it is I cannot get a good enough seal to keep water from entering where the top of the door meets the roof and top of screen.

    How far forward should the front of the hood reach......ie: how much of the stainless header trim should be showing?

    Which company sells the best seals.
