Okay so I am ready to install my new windshield targa seal. I started to feed it down the drivers side & only get a few inches down before it doesn't want to feed. I don't want to put anything on there lube wise that might degrade the seal. So what do you use?
Also any other tricks on how you did yours? Does that screw come from under or over. Damned if I can remember (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Feeding it is one way, works well almost all the way if your have new chrome channels and new seals.. I do and still lined it up w/ one side in where it supposed to fit in length nicely then inserted the other side channel 1 dull screwdriver length at a time.. no lube required..

I just found that some of the seals appear to be ment to slide but in reality better one small section at a time.. |
