[Tigers] Unhappy with Hardtop seal

[Steve Laifman]

Wayne,

Looks like my message was too long because I included some older ones 
for reference.  I removed them.  I hope you've heard from CAT President 
.  I thought I sent a copy to the President of CAT, Buck Tripple,
< BuckTrippel at Verizon.net >.  I bought my hardtop side window button and 
Thick, one-piece, top-body seal at a
CAT meet.
