Are the CJB seals different than the non-CJB?

Doubtful

The CJB seals are different.
The two major differences are the corners at the top of the A and B pillars; and also the trim around the opening in the roof. CJB seals have the "trim edging" molded in to the weather strip. Non-CJBs use a separate piece of trim molding.

I stand corrected. However, back to the original poster, good luck finding a real CJB seal. You will probably need to just make your own.

Your best chance of finding one, or at least getting a lead on one, will likely be Mike Valentine (on FB), aka "mrfiero" on here.
He bought the entire stock of leftover T-top parts from Fieroparts dotcom. But yeah. They're uncommon.
I should add, he also owns the entire used parts business from/of the Fiero Factory.

Someone here (I don't remember who but, sadly, he is no longer with us) constructed seals for his car using a C&C kit for a Firebird.

Edit - I lied. It was Camaro seals.

2nd Edit - Here's an "external" Google search that may also lead to some useful info.

So the seals are different. Are the cutting instructions for the roofs A & B pillars the same for both CJB & Non-CJB due to the difference in the seals?

I would think so. I've never heard anything different. But I don't know for sure.

Free <bump>, if nothing else.
