I don't want to dissuade anyone ever from posting, but just as most owners tend to post in the sub forum of the year(s) of their car(s), I started the discussion about door seals in this forum because I have a '70;

I understand that there is overlap between 1970-73 (this forum), the 1974-1976 sub-forum, and the 1977-1981 sub-forum because they all use the same seals if the car does not have T-tops;
BUT
The t-top option was not introduced till 1976 (even then, for that first year they were only offered on the 50th Anniversary cars);
I am concerned that posting reviews on poor t-top seal kits might not be too useful here, as owners tend to stick to the appropriate model year sub forum - it might be worth at least creating a link in the other sub forum(s) so that owners might come here to see these helpful reviews.

Maybe linking the other subforums to this discussion might garner more collective feedback about the door seals for solid roof cars!?

I have heard of a LOT of issues with fitting reproduction t-top roof seals (& the kits as a whole).

I love t-tops, but don't envy the headaches.

The door seal is the same regardless. My son's 79 Y84 does not have T tops so the roof rail seal is the same as your 70.
