I only really have one - save the top part from the
existing seal, if you can.  I didn't like the bus
depot one at all (left about a 1/4" gap).  The clips
holding the old piece (the one sealing to the luggage
rack) were in excellent shape - not subjected to the
constant drainage of water gathering in there.


However, the rest of the seal is, imo, better than
stock.  By combining the two, i feel i have a great
pop-top seal for my westy that will last a long time.


Other than that, just trim it, press it on and you are
done.
