      I just rebuilt the A/C system in the International and yes, both fans run when the A/C is on.  The fans and the compressor is doing exactly how 55trucker is describing.

      Indeed it is........ both the primary & secondary fans will engage. The low pressure sensor engages the entire system when the system is above approx 40lbs, the compressor does NOT cycle, once engaged it runs 100% of the time the a/c is turned on (depending on the volume of system charge).

      TGP 1989 When operating without the air conditioner on, everything is fine. But when we turn on the air conditioner, even on a cold engine, both the main and additional fans turn on immediately. The question is - is this a normal operating mode? After all, the pressure sensor should be responsible for turning on the fans, but the control unit ignores any state of the sensor.

      This thread seems old. Did anyone ever find replacement top header seals.  Looking for a 1992 cutless supreme

      Yep, I've also read it's not reversible, which is pretty annoying to have to clean it with alcohol all the time.  It's been out of the sun for the last 5-years, but the damage is already done.  Also gets pretty hot in the garage and I'm sure that doesn't help. Only permanent-ish solution I could really think of is to have it wrapped in color-matched leather.  Might look nice if professionally done.  Only thing is if leather needs to be glued down, it wouldn't stick for long if the vinyl underneath keeps sweating.  Maybe it would need to have the vinyl stripped off, then built up and sculpted with some other material to the right shape so that part can be leather-wrapped.  Sounds like very high cost.  Other parts of the car would need attention before I go to that extent to fix it though.
