If it's a '95 or newer, you automatically have the better seals.

And if I remember correctly, on the newer seals, there is a rubber nub/nipple thing on the seal where the rain groove on the roof is.

Yeah that's the one. I believe that indicates the newer seals but I'm not 100% sure. Have you had leaking problems?

93-94 sols have the shitty seals. Look for two pointy nipples that extrude out. If you have the nipples, then you have the crappy roof seals.

Is there any way to replace the old seals with some new ones from the dealer? Anyone got some instructions/part #s for them?

all in all, it might not be OEM but since u know the crack... and u know it comes in there, I bet you could add some extra rubba, or some other seal, and bam fixed..
