Hey Guys,

I just posted a video on installing a bunch of seals, including the targa. Hope this helps demystify the process and keep you dry.

Enjoy!

Great video Ian. If the windshield is out, using the zip ties makes the job so much easier. You'll need the tool to tighten the zip ties correctly. I noticed you had a gap in the curved area of the A pillar right around the 8:44 mark. Did you correct that yet? If not try using the zip ties. After 3 failed attempts to snug that seal in the curved area I stumbled upon using zip ties.

Very cool idea Kent! The curve on my install relaxed after a few weeks and looks good now. I probably should've mentioned that in the video. Also, the characteristics of repo seals aren't quite the same as OEM. The fact that the tab needs to be trimmed is a case in point. I assume that the new seals are slightly stiffer, which also keeps the curve flatter...requiring zip ties or time.
