AHH Too many B's

Well I had to go to my parents place to cut some slate I need for the house....this required me to go into the garage where the two 78's and my Camaro are stored. I hate going in there cuz it reminds me off all the things I 'should' do. But this time looking around at these two long neglected B's I have found some motivation....There basically perfect, rust free original paint, low mileage cars....They just need a good cleaning from sitting, one needs brake work(kinda spongey) I've got a ton of parts(mostly accessories) that need to go on them.
Now here come the questions
How difficult is it to replace the seals under the chrome mount for the windsheild wipers?
Anyone have the MOSS trunk carpet kit? How does it fit?
What can I polish the fiberglass hardtops with?
What color did the master cylinder come from the factory?

I am sure I forgot something....but I'll let ya's start with those /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif

1: Just remove the big nut and lift the bezels off, R&R gaskets.

2: Same stuff you use on the rest of the car.

3: zinc colour. If it's the dual chamber one I think the body was black.

Trunk carpet kit fits and looks great. It even has the recessions in the floor and the spare tire bolt bump molded in. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif PJ

Aerospace 303 is supposed to work great on Fiberglass gelcoat.(I use it on vinyl and rubber and it works great) There are some testimonials from boat owner at the following site. Some Ace hardwares carry it now.

Oh, thats just the stuff I have to ask about /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks for the Aerospace tip...They sell it here at Canadian tire(popular chain auto parts store) I've heard alot of good stuff about it....But it's that $14 for a small bottle that discourages me...At the rate I'll use it I'll go through a bottle every couple days. But I guess I'll give it a try, I'll save it for the 'good' cars only. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif

I've been recommended the A303 stuff to keep my old Alfa top from leaking water too - in a few different question sessions to a few diffenerent people.... I have a new top, but I have reasons for not puting it on yet. The old one has a degraded plastic middle liner that allows watter in at a few places. I was told that if I treaeted the top with A303, the water would bead off the canvas instead of spray through it.
