> Comparison of Pop-top seals requested

       Marshall, I used the ones from the Bus Depot.  Easy to install, very 
good quality, will not rust, no glue needed except for the front edge seal of 
the poptop.  The seal for the luggage rack does not have the rubber attached 
as the one for the poptop.  This may or may not present a problem.  The seal 
is left out so that water can escape from the luggage rack.  However, the 
leading edge may vibrate under certain driving and wind conditions.  What I 
did to solve this was to cut a piece of the rubber tubing from an old pop to 
seal the length of the width of the leading edge of the luggage rack and 
stuff it between the new seal and the roof.  Vibration cured.
