Steve, I haven't bought one to try it yet, but I'm told that the rear hatch seal for GT6's (still available) make a fine replacement and only have to be trimmed a little for length. Some have suggested using a windshield gasket and while this should also work, the GT6 hatch rubber is preferred because it has a lower profile than the windshield rubber and looks better. Plus, like the windshield rubber, the GT6 hatch rubber also has the all-important channel for running your stainless steel or plastic chrome trim around.

No one carries it any more. Several outfits make universal windshield and rear window channel (Metro, Restoration Specialties and others). Has anyone found a particular style that works well? Also, I am looking for the body mounted tie bars for the hard top, does anyone have a hard top car they are parting? or know of one in a wrecking yard somewhere? thanks steve jones 68 Spit Mk3 and 64 Tiger Mk 1 /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
