Title: Shelby Roll Bar Gasket Placement
Post by: Laurie S. on January 08, 2021, 06:48:36 PM

Can someone post a photo of how the gasket goes around the base of the roll bar at the rear quarter panel in a Shelby?  I'm using them in my modified 68 fastback and want to make sure I have it right.  Thanks!

Here a number of shots from different angles of the area where the 68 convertible roll bar cover meets the quarter panel trim in the interior

Hmm, those don't look like the pair I ordered from NPD.

Those pictures are of a Shelby convertible, the fastback is different.

Sorry you didn't specify which body type. Some of the fastback version

Shoot, tried them, they won't work.  The opening in my quarter panels is larger than the gaskets.  Have to go looking for an alternative again.  My old pieces lost their flexibility.
