As a matter of fact, I just replaced mine a couple of weeks ago.  I got it from
M.L. McCulloch, aka Pop Top Campers (ads in HVW), same price.  Installing it
was simple, but on the sides, the seal doesn't make contact with the metal roof.
The "tube" part of the seal seems to be about 1/2"-5/8" dia.  Looks like if
it were a little bigger it would do the trick.  I'd be curious how yours turns
out, and what the dia. is.
