American hatch t tops

[shaggyduoo]

I've got American hatch t tops does anyone else have them. Been thinking about redoing the weather straps. But no parts available. Any one done a replacement what did you do..how, and did it turn out OK. Any pictures. I've got a Facebook page just for the American hatch t tops if anyone wants to join.

I have C n C tops. Same deal with the seals.  Mine are servicable enough to not worry about at this time. My suggest would be to get a catalogue from Steele rubber and look at their standard profiles. There may be something there that will work.
I contacted them a few years ago about making repros for the C n C tops, they wanted mine as a core/pattern and then the price was going to be several thousand dollars. Needless to say I declined.

My theory on American hatch is that you could cut apart two sets of Hurst first gen seals and make everything longer as appropriate to fit.  They'd leak, but that's the best I could come up with.

Currently having the same issues finding replacements. Glass rattles which I assume is a massive issue and the tops are a nightmare to take on and off. Only solution I have heard about is splicing two Hurst seal kits but haven't seen documentation at all on attempting it.

Would also like to hear some tips on how to proceed if anyone knows.
