Re: 1972 Blazer top/window seal issues
I'll share my personal experience/advice and I suspect most folks here will each have their own. I too have a double wall top and I bought new non-NOS door window to top seals because actual new NOS stuff is not available to me. I tried using the t-clips, I tried using weatherstrip glue, and I tried using super glue. None of it worked long-term and the seal quality sucked. I could barely get the driver's door to close and there were still gaps, and it was tough to roll the window down and roll the window up. I only tried one brand of seal, so maybe other brands fit better but I ended up ripping them off and repainting the window sill. I then went to the hardware store and bought a couple different shapes of regular stick-on door/window seals and tried those. All of them fit better than the repop seals. I settled with using a white D-shaped seal (because my top is white) and it seals fine, the doors close, the windows roll up and down, and the seal color matches the top, so you barely see it. It is not a perfect seal (if you directly spray a stream of water from a hose at it, it will leak), but it is close enough.
