Greg,
Yes, your absoutly right.  When you said quarter seals, I thought you were
refering to the rear quarter lights - My mistake, I always refer to the
door quarters as wing windows, or wing vents (a yankee term I guess).  Just
one of those little mishaps when one is speaking the same language but with
different meanings for the same words. . .  But in any case these are to
seal this area - And yes, I had Spitfire on the mind, the GT has fixed
*quarter windows* and thats what this seals - thanks for the correction,
must have sounded a little confusing to quite a few people :-}
