I'm installing a new main Targa roof seal. The one that goes around the windshield frame. The side post section fit like a glove. The section along the top where the roof fits to the windshield frame has got me stumped. Is this glued? There seems to be some metal inside the rubber seal itself that I thought just squeezed tight to the metal frame, but I can't get it to work.
Advice would be great. Love this forum. So, far I've gotten advice on all topics that has allowed me to get this rebuild so near completion. Thanks, Dan |

I just pushed the center section on most of the way. Then I installed the roof panel and used the latches to push the seal the rest of the way on.

After I used the weatherstrip adhesive, I put the top on and left it on for a couple weeks. Believe me, it's not coming off. |
