here is a heads up..  NEVER remove the factory seal that goes between the
poptop and luggage rack..   because NOBODY makes a good aftermarket seal for that
area.   just replace the seal that runs around the perimeter of the
top/luggage rack, where it touches the roof (perimeter seal).    when removing your old
perimeter seal, cut it at the base of the part where it starts going up
(rack/top seal) with some wire cutters/razor blade and leave the old rack/top seal
there.  even a old dried out rack/top seal is better than the aftermarket one,
in that area.
