New seal.

The original has steel (duh, it rusts into nothing, VW!) clips.
Eventually, after years in the air and the rain, the little clips go to
be with Jesus, and the little lambs, and harps and clouds.

Newer aftermarket seals have clips made of al-LOO-nee-um, which cannot
rust. $50 bucks at FLLV for the pop-top seal. Make sure you ask for ones
with al-LOO-nee-um clips. It's s'more for the leaf-&-acorn collection
bucket seal up front, and the flat, goes-across-the-top seal.

Welcome to the club... How much you got in the bank? Remember this day
fondly.

With a 1982 Westfalia and a 1907 house soaking up my spare change, I am,

But not the last, I'm sure, as I deal with my new-to-me '82 Westfalia...

When I put up the pop-top the seal around the edge of the pop-up sags
for
several feet in various places.  I can't see what's to keep this seal in
place, unless I'm supposed to use some sort of glue or sealer.  The seal
itself is flexible and supple.

What's the "cure" for this problem?

TIA!
