    No word from Mike yet so I take it they have yet to get any in…

    This is how it works:

    Before any quotes go out and before they even attempt to make the parts they review the part, Then they will go to their distributors and dealers and ask if this part is on high demand.

    If the part is on high demand they will make them.

    Metro Moulded Parts is a high volume manufacturer, They can manufacture anything as far as seals go.

    Problem is, besides us having a chat between a couple of interested guys there is really no demand here. :-(

    They have yet to receive parts from us to review, never mind even thinking about quoting etc…

    If I had a parts car laying around with decent seals I would ship them out to them for review.

    door seals, t-top seals, side view mirror triangle seals etc..

    Hey Nivo..does it matter if the T-top seals already leak or do they have to be in perfect condition so they can check them out?

    I don't think they care if they leak as long as they are intact and not 2 pieces from being rotted.

    Ok guys, Mike ( Metro Moulded Parts) asked me to give him a call to discuss the Z31 t-top seal project further!

    It has been a long road and it looks like it has come to our turn.

    Will post back what we talk about.

    I paid for some t-top seals and they were sent to the address that you posted for Metro Moulded Parts.
    Did they get a set of t-top seals?

    yes, thanks to you they got to see them!

    Mike contacted me to give him a call to talk further about the seals. I will keep you posted Rick.

    Hopefully I can talk him into making the window triangles too! maybe the rear spoiler gaskets.

    Cool. I already put on some new t-top seals on my SS but I wanted to do my part just in case.

    it has been a long waiting process because we were put on the back burner due to lack of interest and demand. also it took a year to get them the weather stripping.

    yeah I noticed how long that took, must be frustrating. If I was on this forum that long ago I would have been shipping them in same day as I always had 2-3 Z's sitting around! Good luck and let me know if there's anything I can do!
