I bought the OEM improved rear Targa seal with the fuzzy strip in June and just now getting around to installing it. My question is what do you do with metal trim on the sides where the original has them molded in? My car is a 72 I'm guessing you'll need to fab up two metal strips. Has anyone done a write up on this? I did a search and checked the 914 rubber site but found nothing.
Thanks, Jsaum Attached thumbnail(s)

The OEM seal has a slit that allows the plate to be glued to the back. You could find a small strip of thin gauge metal and drill out like the one you have to sandwich the rubber between. Take a little black caulking to glue the back on and you have something pretty dang close to OEM.
