1954 convertible top question

[Guy M.]

Is there supposed to be a big piece of rubber between the windshield frame and the header bow. My kit from AK doesnt have anything like that in it. I have the small rubber end pieces. Anybody have a good pic?. If there is supposed to be one there any sources?

Yes - there is a front rubber piece to the windshield and their are two rubber ends. - Pretty sure the front peice should be inc in the kit

There should be a rubber seal piece with what resembles a tadpole as a cross section that slides into the front bow groove. Doesn't come in the kit and near impossible to find.

I got one from AK and an inner and outer from CC. The one fromAK seem a bit heavier. Anyone have a pic on how it should end up looking? Any kind of screws or glue used? Thanks again.
