Default Soft top window trim help

All,

I searched but I could not find any specific/helpful answers. Does anyone know where I can get the rubber trimming that the windows press against when rolled all the way up? These are the rubber pieces attached to the soft top's frame. Also, they seem to snap in place and the piece towards the front seems to have a screw holding it down as well...does anyone know what it takes to replace the 3 pieces of rubber on each side? It seems like it would be simple but I have never done it before.

Thanks!

Damaged, cracked or torn? Leaking?

Simply leaking. It started after I had my top replaced. Apparently the rubber pieces do not seal properly where they meet maybe because they were moved? It's mainly right where both rubber pieces meet towards the center of the edge of the window. Advise?

maybe they can be adjusted...i would have to take a closer look. My bet is something needs adjusting, failing that, try shinetsu grease - but also a good preventative measure.

Not sure about adjustment...they pop on and off the rail where they mount, but I don't see how they would adjust. What would the shinetsu grease do?

Thanks!
