Steven,

I Ordered and installed new pop-top seals about two years ago from J.C.
Whitney and they have held up just fine. Watch their sale catalogs as
this item periodically goes on sale. I waited and saved about $25.

Subject: pop-top seals

Anybody have an opinion om pop-top seals from JC Whitney? They seem to
have aluminum instead of steel running through them to prevent rusting.
Also, they have an added piece of foam attached to the inner portion to
form a somewhat airtight seal similiar to the weather strip around a
door frame of a car. Overall the quality is very good, but I am not sure
of the long term affects of the added foam seal. It seem that this can
be a water holder.
Any honest opinions? Yeah, I know I should buy from the Bus Depot or
similiar place,  but Chicago is 2hrs away.
