Hi. I'm looking for some Weather striping fro my 71 blazer it has a double wall top and I need the Roof rail seal. I have talked to the people over at Brothers and they told me that seal is not available anywhere. I was wondering if anybody had any info on getting this seal. Thanks in advance

i got all my seals from LMC. Are you talking about the seal from roof to windshield or roof to bedsides? In any case they are both available. The ones i recived seemed to be good quality as well.. no leaks yet...

Thanks badchev69 do you have any idea how many retainer clips i need. The weatherstriping on my top is completly gone so i don't have a clue how many i need thanks.

badchev69 · 01-15-2007, 04:43 PM

on the roof to windshield there is one clip on either end.
on the bedsides there is none... that i used anyways.
if you are replacing the upper doorglass to roof seal there is one on the bottom closest to the door handle. Thats all that i know of anyways. Hope that helps.

If your talking about the little plactic T that goes into the fiberglass top mine has several on it. I'd have to count them when I get home but I'll bet there is close to 10.

I cleaned up my top last night and counted 7 holes on the passenger side and 6 on the drivers side? O'well just ordered a few extra. Thanks for the help guys.
