    Spirit windshield weatherstrip. 1 piece or 3 piece?

    It looks like there are 2 different windshield weatherstrip sets available for the Spirit. One of them is a 3 piece set (which I can't find), and the other is 1 piece like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/WEATH...2em118Q2el1247
    Are these interchangeable? I'm guessing maybe the aftermarket ones are made as one piece to cut manufacturing costs? I just want to be sure that one will work and look right before I buy it.

    Also, Anybody have an online source for the weatherstripping for the back glass?

    Thanks,
    Tony

    Anybody? Whether or not this will work is going to determine if I replace the windshield myself with a good one from a junkyard or pay a professional to have it done. The last time I did this, I completely mangled the weatherstrip while cutting the windshield out.

    My 89 Shadow had a 3 piece seal from the factory, when I replaced the winshield I was only able to get one of the 3 pieces from the dealer, the others superseded to a single piece seal which is what I used, and it fit fine. Guessing that the Spirit is similar.

    Thanks! That's what I was hoping for.
    Any idea where to find one for the back glass? I had to remove the top piece to get at some rust and it tore in half while I was trying to get it loose.
