    I am on the hunt for a set of rear vent window seals for my Firedome. I have a set that I believe I purchased from Steele Rubber (ordered years ago so I can't remember), but they are wrong. The slot on the rubber for the vent latch should be on the bottom part. The new seals have the slot in the middle part of the window. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Sounds like those are front vent wing seals, not the rears. Have you talked to the folks at Bernbaum?

    I'll give them a call today. The picture for the seals on their website looks like the ones I already have. Hopefully it's just a generic picture.
    Thanks, Keith
     
  6. Check Restoration Specialties. If you have the old seals, sometimes they have a drawing with the cross section in their catalog. The online catalog used to be tough to navigate.
