Yes Bill has been the provider of period correct seals for the hard top.
At least a few years ago you could get seals that matched or were
close enough, except for color, from JC Whitneys. 12DF6584T was the
number for the windlace seals and 81DF248U was the number for the
rear window glass seal. A couple of letters or numbers (don't
remember which, changed with every catalog that they printed but the
rest of the number remained the same.
