Hello, So I just bought my first 914 which I have been thinking about buying for a while. I am very excited and happy to be a part of the forum, thanks for the add!

I am very new to them and not well versed in the proper terminology. I have a few things I have to address on the car and one is this.

Can you tell if I am missing a seal here? There is a very large opening in between the windshield frame, window and top. What would the part be called, is it a top seal?

Thanks in advance!

Drew

Your main targa seal is broken. It is supposed to go along the top of the windshield frame and down the pillars in one piece.

914rubber has an excellent repo:

Thank you very much! I know the car isn't for a purist but I just couldn't resist it.

There was one person during the auction that mentioned a few things that the car needed, honestly I am not sure what he was referring to so I am hoping to get some help on here. I will probably make up another post and ask for some more assistance.

Thanks again!

Drew

I would be interested in knowing how the dash has been covered or is it "painted"?

Agree that 914rubber will be bookmarked in your browser before long. The targa seal you need is, in my opinion, better than the originals.

This community is filled with incredible people who are really generous with their knowledge...and friendship. They've helped me HUGE, so I decided to pay it forward by making a bunch of videos on how to care for these cars. I'm no expert, so they give a realistic view on what's involved, and what's possible for a DIY-er. The link to my youtube channel is in my signature below. You may want to start with the "914s for Newbies" series.

Welcome to the addiction!

Ian

PS - My video on installing the seals is coming in the next few weeks, but 914Rubberhas a great one on their site.

This is a beautiful interior, and we would be interested in knowing more about who and how this was accomplished. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
