I have searched and read quite a bit on this topic, lots of good stuff. But I still have a couple of questions. I have a '73, with early top (as identified by a thread here). Very (very) rattly so I have a new rear seal (from 914rubber.com) that I will install.
Not trying to beat a dead horse... My question(s): What have others done with the side pieces that are too long (I assume just trim down and "bevel" to fit up with top window seal (on side)), and What have others done with respect to the side metal trim pieces that are "under" the seal on the side, and that curve around the "bulb" of the seal? It seems like trimming the "curved" bit of the metal (without the screw holes) will jst lead to possible rattles from this area and that is exactly what I am trying to avoid.  |

I think he's asking at what point does he cut the excess rubber off, and where.
I don't have an answer for this question, but I'm curious to know the answer. |
