    All,

    Looking at windshield gasket/rubber seals.

    I need new seals for my Meyer Top also.

    Looking at buying a quantity rather than a kit so I can may be do it all, and by the last window figure out the easy way to do it...

    Anyone use or have a preference for the self-locking vs the filler beaded kind?

    Thanks.

    Dane

    I've used both types, I might have to vote for the self-locking type.

    I agree with Uncamonkey. The filler bead type was easier for me to install but I think the self-locking type seals better.
    Silicone spray or soapy water is your friend for either type.

    Thanks for your help. It seals the deal for me, self lock sounds good.
