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.
I'm gonna have to dispute  your claim Chris.  The front seal from the Bus
Depot is perfect.  I  have one on my '87 since 4 ~ 5 years now and have installed
a few of them on  customers vans.  Some of the seals from other companies
especially CIP are  not correct.  I'm not familiar with others.  But the one from
the Bus  Depot that I've been getting is definitely the correct piece and
works  well.
