Hi, sorry to bomb the list but my mail to you bounced....guess I copied
down your address incorrectly,
anyway here's a forwarded version of my response.....
anyone else gotten in touch w/ Custom Hardtops or replaced seals in these
tops....
any other ideas on where the WATER comes down through the dash from....
I thought from around the wiper arm holes....are there supposed to be
any seals around these mounts.....?

Hi, I have a fiberglass hardtop from a '71B that I use on my '69 daily
driver. Its' that time isn't it.....
Well, yes it rains, and well my top keeps me pretty dry...I get water
leaking onto my shins from above..mainly only in a driving rain..it appears
to be leaking out from under
the dash, I have sealed the under windshield area and am wondering where
this water is coming from. it accumulates whether driving or standing....
anyway, my top is black with a white fiber-glass interior
, it has a riveted tag in the back right bottom corner behind the drivers
seat
from :
Custom Hardtops
1410 Cota
Long Beach, CA 90801
Serial # 2209
213 (? if still valid) 432-5454
My seals are fair, and are also riveted in...I have been interested in
the concept of replacing them too. Let me know what you find out, I am
curious, expecting that the company is still around.... if they have seal
kits.
Replacement should be easy, buy/or dust off the Pop Rivet tool, drill out
old rivets replace new seals.
The top is nice, rather quiet compared to the rag....and a quite easy to
take off and on if you don't bolt in the side connects..I just discovered
cable ties for that activity,,..although could be trouble in a slight
fender bender......
Anyway, hope this sheds any light...
