Anybody familiar with this hardtop from Dynaplastics in South El Monte, CA? I'm sure the company is no longer in business. Can you get generic seals that fit?

I have only seen a few of these.. I am sure you could fabricate new seals..?

They are long since out of business. You will need to find a generic seal to fit. Sorry, I have no suggestions.

That porthole reminds me of when I was a kid riding the yellow submarine at Disneyland!

I was able to make up seals using 3/4" thick closed cell foam and a door seal that I bought at Lowes. All things considered it seals pretty well.

I have one of those for my 77. Paid $50 for it. Such a deal I couldn't pass up. My seals were frayed also. I finally got some heavy duty 3M black gooey weather stripper sealant and kinda patched it back together. Works fine. Then you can get that black top restorer, I think it was from Classic Motoring. Sponge/paint it on and it looks great!

Looks like the one I have on my 76. The one I have I believe is a snugtop.
