the seal is heavy duty, in the 2nd pick you can see the middle piece that locks in the main body of the seal.

This link is definatly worth looking at. - http://houstonmiataclub.com/index.php?topic=904.0

I just ordered a Forbidden U.S.A OEM style hardtop that comes with a "scratch resistant lexan window." I was considering the tint spray, but after seeing his experiment I think I will try my luck with the 5% Film. -It should be noted that he didn't say how hot it got during the 3 months he left it out in the elements. If it was summertime in Death Valley the test might have yielded different results.

Good Luck!
