Default Hardtop install HELP...!

Hello s2ki i hope somebody can help and point me in the right direction. So i recently purchased a VIS Mugen Rep hardtop since i had to get it last minute because somebody tried to break into my beloved s2k and ripped my softtop. So ya sorry for rambling but i just picked up the HT and realized that i need the molding and weather strip to install my rear window... Can anyone please let me know where i can buy this in the SO-CAL 909 area or tell me a good place where they can install the rear window. ANY help and advice will be greatly appreaciated. Thanks

You can call VIS. If you don't have the rear window seal, did you get the side window seals, and the body seal?

Criagslist has the seals for sale as well as the plexiglass. I have a tinted one installed and I would like to trade it for a clear one. As far as the install it's not that hard. Get some 3M window weld and apply a GENEROUS about on the hardtop then attach the seal to the window and then push the window in.

I'm in the 626 I can lend a helping hand if ya like. :wave:

Looks as though you may have the rear window sorted, if your after more heavier duty window and HT base seals lmk.

using the OEM hardwares especially with the rears greatly improves fitment and security imo.
classifieds had some OEM hardwares just recently.
