INSTALLING NEW TOP.

The photo looks a lot like my 67. Did your new top come with the covering for the seal part?
My 66 came with the rubber filler tube and a piece of vinyl that I spray contact cemented around the filler rubber piece and had to fold over and sew the ends so it wouldn't pick up any water and let it run into the header channel.after I measured it. I made mine flush with the top not 1/2" inboard like the old top.
