What were they thinking?

[Canuck]

I have restored a few "A" body converts and have ordered my weather strip kits from Fusick automotive in CT. They are primairly an Olds supplier. They are very fussy about who they choose as supliers. The kits from them are Soft Seal. I have noticed ,comparing reproduction WS to s few NOS pieces I have had that repro stuff is a little harder than OEM. Additionally the center side pieces are about 1/8 inch longer than NOS and have to be positioned just right otherwise they will bind against the rear side strip and not allow a good seal against the glass. as far as final fit and allignment is concerned, get your top and WS all installed and alligned and then deal with the glass.
