i bought a set of gaskets from a guy that was going to redo an 85 and changed his mind. they were high quality and fit perfect. about 2 weeks after i put them on the car the drivers side gasket broke. i should say this that i don't know how long ago he bought them and i did not get the receipt that he got or one from him.

i emailed the company (metro moulded parts) and explained what happened and if they could do anything for me. i had to scan and email the warranty card that was in the box and they sent me a new set of gaskets for both doors.

also asked about the B pillar gasket as my windows are hard going up. they told me to give it about 2 more weeks and if it doesn't get any better that they will send me a new B pillar gasket.

they might be expensive but they stand behind what they sell.

here's a link to their site.

I'm voting with Willcox. Their weatherstrip worked great. It's been a year with no cracking etc. It fit well going on and has stayed that way. I replaced my convertible top and all the associated weatherstrips. Everything looks good and the rain stays on the outside!

Good luck with whatever you decide!

Hi helphos - a little off topic but I was wondering if you did the top replacement yourself ? If you did, how did the project go for you?

I did mine a few years ago and it turned out to be alot more difficult than I had planned. I give my results a grade "B" and the flaws make me crazy. Good thing the top is always down when I drive it
