Default Help identify my my Mugen Hardtop window seals

Hello everyone.

I purchased this hardtop a few months ago and the passenger side window seal is different than my driver window seal. The passenger side is much thinner and has wind noise while the driver side is perfect. You can even see the driver side has an extra piece of foam at the bottom of the seal which seats perfectly in the rubber base Can someone identify which brand the driver side is so i can buy another? It fits so perfect im thinking its OEM...

Driver Side


Passenger side


Driver side


Passenger side


Thanks for looking!

one side is probably the hardtop company seal, the other is probably 3m since that is the "upgraded" seals with a certain replica hardtop maker

i honestly dont know who does what, i dont have a hardtop its just going off my thoughts from reading the forums but I also remember people using RV/motorhome weather stripping too, so maybe someone just replaced a torn seal themselves and it worked out better. check out Home Depot too/google to see the different options

neither one is an oem Honda seal that you get with the OEM Honda hardtop and Mugen hardtop, that's all I can tell you.

Wondering if someone just modified the weather stripping. It could be possible I'm glad I saw that b/c I just picked up a HT and noticed some issues with the weather striping leaking noise at that same point.

I need a pro to put mine on. Mine look like your drivers side but without the thing on the bottom. I get wind noise on both sides, more on the passanger side though. BUT I don't get water leaking in at all so I just leave it. Although if someone does know where to get the weather stripping that works the best I want to know as much as you do OP.

They look like the seals that Forebidden USA gives with their tops.

Im almost positive it was made that way. The bottom part is connected and seats too perfectly for someone to just fab up
