I was able to source my weather stripping and put it together locally, so can't see why you can't do the same, just depends upon how accessible everything is, I guess and patience in finding the right source. I found a place 5 minutes from where I live, but took some research in getting the right pieces together. I mean I can send to you my setup if you want to save time and research, but shipping might deter you.

The OEM Honda side window seals will not fit right with this top.

I just tried this last week btw and it was pretty irritating spending $200+ for the seals and not having them work. Good luck bro, and let me know if you find a better alternative. If you do try to alter them make sure you test the windows first. I altered one for the passenger side and found that if the seal is too far in the channel, when you roll the window up you can't open the door. LOL The OEM seal is nice and really beefy compared to the other seals floating around out there. I can't believe how hard it is to find weatherstripping in the right size and shape that isn't just an over-priced piece of cut rubber.
didn't he say this was a waste of $???
