Eminiparts looks to have them for 172 each (left and right). Not sure what the shipping is. I might be getting mine from there as they seem to have the best price.

It is. That's why I said 172 each. 344 total which would be saving 56. And you would be buying from an MA sponsor.

Don't skimp when replacing factory weather seal. OEM or bust!

I am a retired construction manager with 40 years of experience with millions of square feet of commercial construction. Also have a LEED AP. I know a little about keeping water vapor, water and air outside. The R52 top has what I call a rain bar around the portion of the top where it connects to the car. There is also a rubber gutter along the back where the top hits the trunk and a formed curved metal gutter along the two sides. The top is made so that water sheds off the roof and anything that does not run off on the metal sides, weeps down into the gutters. The gutters are sloped and either discharge out through the the trunk or to the front just behind the doors. Lift up the top at the trunk and you can see what I described.
I trimmed off the rotted vinyl and applied a small bead of black silicone to cover up the stitches. If I was going to do concours, I would spend the money for the trim, but as the majority of people will have no idea that I trimmed the bad vinyl off, I will use the money for other work on the car.
The picture with the chrome strips are Cowles # S37750 that is 1/2" wide. The second in black are the same trim that I painted black with a bumper type spray paint. You can choose, $40 or $400.Attached Files:
