These wedges are crucial for proper seal fitment. Often overlooked when building restorations, many shops/owners don't know what they are for or where they go. Your convertible originally came with these wedges because they close the gaps between extruded rubber seals and your vehicle's body. All wedges sold as left/right pairs.
