Ok, I gave it the old college try but couldn't find anything on the above topic when I searched the Pagoda site so here is my question. I just got my hardtop back from the upholsterer who replaced the headliner (good job) and all of the seals including the quarter glasses but not the rear window seal. As an aside I told him that now that he has done a pagoda top he wouldn't have any trouble doing the next one to which he replied he was never going to do another one as this one was a real PITA.
My question relates to the small seal that goes on the outside of the quarter glass at the bottom of the quarter glass between the window and the chrome strip that runs horizontal to the ground. I didn't realize I needed one until my upholsterer showed me the gap where it was supposed to be located. I found and ordered one from Bud's Benz (good people) but discovered that the seals, each of which were about 19 inches, cost about $2.50 per inch. Oh well, at least I have found them. The problem is that the front of the horizontal chrome piece sticks out about 3/8 ths of an inch from the perpendicular chrome piece it meets at the front which doesn't seem right. If someone has a photo of this area or a suggestion about how to solve this problem please let me know. I just got the new seals in but will have to get some help to remove the hardtop to access the screws that secure the chrome strips to the HT. TIA.
