[Roadsters] Hard Top Window Rubber

[Paul Kort]

  Smoothline has the old Parrish hard top molds.  They make great hardtops,
but they are VERY expensive.  I talked with them about 10 years ago when
they acquired the Parrish mold, but they were not interested in selling any
of the rubber seals they had.  Might be different today.  The Parrish tops
were rounded and close to the factory tops in looks.  But the window seals
should work on any hardtop.
  If somebody finds a source, keep us all posted.  I could use a set!
