[6pack] Surrey top (backlight) side window seals

[Todd Bermudez]

Hi Andy,

Uh Sterrett sold his car...

That strip you're talkin' about would've been installed on a TR4.  I'm not so
sure they were installed on the TR5/TR250, but I would say having that channel
and seal installed will help make a better wind/water barrier.

I don't know exactly where to source this bit, but I do have a set one of my
back lights I could remove.  I bet you could use some channel from a TR4 as
well.  The TR4s had channel going from the top of the A-Post to the top of the
B-Post.  A single rubber seal was installed.

Cheers,

Todd
