My dilema is that I brought both seals out to the vacation home awaiting my install and by the time I return, I might be outside the return time frame.

I believe that to be erroneous information. I had the problem on my '84. To my knowledge, they are all the same seals. Some of the hardware changed over the years, but the windshield frame, and the tops are the same. Once again, call Dan @ Cars Inc-he will give you all you want to know on Targa tops.
Did you have an 84' top? Was it refurbised or from 86-89? As I posted above, Im beginning to think 84-85 tops are different.

okay i got all my seals ... two top seals look pretty solid and back one is perfect. I am going to assume the front is a 964 seal as others have noticed as it seems beefy but i havent drilled down yet as i am working on the rear one.. Just in time as the old one came out in three pieces in about 30 seconds .. tthe channel is full of old glue and years of filth .. any recommendations for removing the old gue ? I know varsol will do it but was looking for something a little less harsh.
Any suggestions ?

I received my front seal from Dan and returning the Pelican one today. I am naturally keeping the Targa bar seal from Pelican. I'll post when I install.

i will try the citrus cleaner and see where we get .. may be a bit of a tricky job as some of the glue is rock hard and you have to work with the roof out so could be a bit messy.

I'll be tackling the install at the end of the month. Won't be at Vacation home till then. Any you tube vids showing the procedure?
