has anybody ever replaced the flat front seal on their pop-top (the one
that mates with the luggage rack) with
the seal material that goes on the sides?  my flat seal curls up and
seems to catch the rain (of course this seal is old an brittle), i need
to replace this flat portion.  i know bus depot sells just this section
but wondering if i really need the flat type or the side type works just
as well as i have some of the side type.  guess i could always put it on
and see what happens.

ps - just had my emissions tests done.  passed with some margin but not
alot.  kicker is the po removed the
cat. converter and cross-over pipe and used a muffleer that bolts right
to the exhaust manifolds.  i did put in a can of emissions pass stuff.
