Saratoga top restoration
I've picked up an old Saratoga top and I've started the resoration process. The lexan is gradually coming back with lots of elbow grease but the weather stripping is bad. Has anyone found a suitable replacement for the rubber? It seems pretty simple but I'm not sure where to start looking. Does anyone know a good place to start?
Thanks.

I'm in the same boat... What did you use on the lexan?
Right now, it's on the backburner, as I plan on using the Saratoga in the winter. If I find anything useful, I'll let you know. I've subscribed to this post, as it would be great to get more info on this, Jon |

Pictures of the exact weather stripping you are referring to would help. Show the measurements and side profiles if you can.
JC Whitney has a huge selection of different profile weather strip for cars. Might want to check it out.

Thanks for the replies.
Jon: I've been using a product called Novus (it's a system of 3 levels of polish). I first cleaned it with Plexus but that's more for cleaning and removing swirls. I polished with Novus 2 which worked ok but it's still cloudy so I may try Novus 3 which is for deeper scratchs. I'll let you know how that works out. Dennis: I'll take some pic's tonight and post.
