Subject:      Re: Help-83 pop top seal

Mike, I got mine from:

Parts Place (Recycled Bugs) 2300 N Opdyke Auburn Hills, MI 48326 (810)373-2300 (810)373-5950 fax

The price was:

US$49.95 for the luggage rack seal - part# 8-231-831-709 US$109.95 for the pop top seal - part# 8-231-831-710

plus US$8.30 shipping and handling.

I am pleased with the seal. It was easier to put on than the original would be because the part that attaches to the top is made of stiff plastic instead of having those rusty metal clips inside. You just put a little 3M weather stripping cement in the groove, a little on the top and away you go.

Hope this helps,
