Thank you Frank for the excellent help in answering my questions.


I think the Bus Depot ones are the right way to go. Thanks for the tip on the vibration issues - that'll be easy to do.


Kind Regards,

    Comparison of Pop-top seals requested




         Marshall, I used the ones from the Bus Depot.  Easy to install, very good quality, will not rust, no glue needed except for the front edge seal of the poptop.  The seal for the luggage rack does not have the rubber attached as the one for the poptop.  This may or may not present a problem.  The seal is left out so that water can escape from the luggage rack.  However, the leading edge may vibrate under certain driving and wind conditions.  What I did to solve this was to cut a piece of the rubber tubing from an old pop to seal the length of the width of the leading edge of the luggage rack and stuff it between the new seal and the roof.  Vibration cured.


  Cheers
