Can someone please for the love of god advise me on where I can get a decent channel for the targa roof seals on an early mk1?? I've got water pouring in both sides & it's already causing my passenger window to play up.

Racing Green list a roof channel, of which I bought the last one, but when it came is just a straight black alloy channel which doesn't fit anywhere?

I'm getting proper fecked off with it!!

I spoke to Racetech they advised that TVR tried different seals. They recommended using U0472 boot seal.
I replaced both targa window seals with this.

I actually have the rubber part bought from Racing Green, just the channel I'm struggling with! I'll give Jason a bell tomorrow. Thanks very much.

Ryan,
the suggestion of a self adhesive dense foam strip seems a good alternative. Might be worth Googling/searching for car trim products...You may get the plastic channel and/or dense foam strip from one of these (Woolies springs to mind).
Alternatively, late model Chimaeras used similar channel, so you could call Bell Hill or the other TVR breakers?
