Hard Top Gaskets and Seals

[10pax]

Any ideas on the best place to buy gaskets and seals for the hard top on my 77'? I know of two places...LMC and Classic Parts... but here is the delima... The parts from Classic Parts seem to be the same price and cheaper on some, but how is the quality? I don't want to spend a fortune but would like some good stuff too. I beleive the age-old saying about "You get what you pay for." but in this hobby, that is not always true. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanx

If you do a little searching you may find that some have found that the dealer still has these available. That would be the best place, but is more expensive than LMC. Here are the two header seals:

Header seal inner - cab.................................15590455...... .....$57.65................LMC $29.95
Header seal outter - topper............................357490.......... .....$52.14...............LMC $29.95


These have the dealer price when Metrodps found them. They will need to be ordered in, but it is well worth the price for original.

x2. Buy from the dealer what you can.

I bought some of the top seals from LMC, three of them were made completely incorrectly, two so much that they were unusable and had to be returned.
