The weatherstrip does not tuck into a channel except on the rear pillar. I does tuck under the additional pieces screwed in the corners, that is it. My 78 I've had since new and pulled the weatherstrips on a repaint in '88. The 81 came with them not glued down after a repaint from previous owner.

i agree with what youre describing, thats what i found when repainting my lower original miles (25k) 81 t/a as well as the roofs ive cut off, the w/s just glues to the roof channel itself & the lip at the inside edge is part of the roof.

but what i think hes saying is that the inner "lip" that goes all the way around the roof channel is a separate piece? i dont see that when looking at mine, its all part of the roof & was never sold as a separate piece from GM, nor is it a repro'd part.

curious to see pics of what exactly this part or area is...
