Subject:Re: Is the pop top really worth it? I hear they are noisey

Bob,

Just a tip from when i replaced my pop-top seals... if
you happened to get the Bus Depot kit, the seal that
touches on the metal is an excellent upgrade, but the
one that goes across the front and seals to the
luggage rack is worse that original (for me - much
worse... didn't seal at all).  I just created a hybrid
seal using the new side trim and the old front trim.

Looks good, works good (err... well, for you grammar
nazis).
