'70 98 Ragtop weatherstripping

Hey guys, just got my car back from getting a new top professionally redone. I also paid extra to have all of the weatherstripping around the top, doors, windows, and trunk replaced.

Although the weatherstripping install appears correct, something isn't quite right with it where the A pillar and the top meet - it bunches up when the windows and top are up.

If anyone has one and could take a picture of the weatherstripping where the top of the windshield and the ragtop and door glass come together that would be awesome! This will guide me as to how its supposed to be.

Thanks everyone!

Chris, I hope someone gets you a picture. FWIW, I replaced the weather stripping on my 71 98 4 door hardtop and it doesn't fit quite right either. The windows will seal if they're up but then they won't roll down unless you open the door.

I think problems like this are due to the fact that manufacturers sell one product and say it works for other applications, i.e. selling weather stripping for a 71 Cadillac DeVille and saying it will work for my 71 98.

Hopefully all your convertible needs is an adjustment.

Thanks bud I appreciate it. I am tempted to take any A pillar/Top/Window meeting point picture, even from a Cutlass it should at least give me a good idea.
