here is a heads up.. NEVER remove the factory seal that goes between the poptop and luggage rack.. because NOBODY makes a good aftermarket seal for that area. just replace the seal that runs around the perimeter of the top/luggage rack, where it touches the roof (perimeter seal). when removing your old perimeter seal, cut it at the base of the part where it starts going up (rack/top seal) with some wire cutters/razor blade and leave the old rack/top seal there. even a old dried out rack/top seal is better than the aftermarket one, in that area.
