Targa top Seal / Gasket confusion
There appears to be some confusion as to what works with what relative to Targa top over the windshield Front frame seals.
1. 67-69 Targas use the very narrow over the windshield frame seal which goes with the narrow side seals. Hollow or v shaped door seals will work. More about these latter. These are presently NLA but I am getting them made.
2. 70-85 uses a over the windshield frame seal that is directly compatable with the v shaped door seal. This is the Seal I sell.
3. 86-89 style over the windshield frame seal is designed for the hollow door seal is NLA though a 70-85 seal can be substituted but then a Coupe door seal needs to be used which can be cut to length. It appears Coupes went to hollow door seal around 77.
4. The over the windshield frame seal I sell can be made to work with all Targas 70-89 though one should use the hollow coupe door seal for best results.
5. 90-94 over the windshield frame seal fit only 90- 94 Targa and are too large for earlier cars.
6. Side seals are the same from 70-94 though all are too long and need 3/16" trimmed from rear.
Respond with additional questions.
