Chuck: Absolutely on the header to windshield seal. It will probably get torn or damaged as it is removed anyway. The strips that hold it on are reusable as long as your shop doesn't enlarge the holes too much drilling the rivets out. You'll have to look at the side seals and see if they are pliable. Many times the velcro comes unglued, but is just fine, i which case the side seals are removed, the strips that retain them are removed, and the velcro reglued. If the sside seals aren't pliable they won't survive te removal and reinstallation. Your call on those. 
  Good luck - Ed

  I am replacing a ratty top on a 74.5 TR6. Want to know which, if any, of
the seals, velcro etc. shown in the Moss catalog I need to buy [total comes
to 140 or so for everything]. Is the front seal that mates with the
windshield reusable, or does it get destroyed when removed? Am having a
professional shop do the install, so want to take all the needed parts to
them.
Thanks,
