I have tried adjusting the side windows every which way. There is absolutely no sag in the doors.
Turns out this morning we had a down pour when I need to bring my car in for an inspection. I replaced the side window rubber from (Mikey) but I'm thinking that the top rear gasket needs to be replaced. I just looked at another 914 and it seems to sit much lower. Also the point above the vent wing has a gap, does this mean the top window rubber needs to be replaced or does the front rubber on the window frame need replacement What do you think? Pictures have been attached for this morning.    |

Last week I received the targa replacement parts from 914rubber, in hopes to get a more water tight seal.
I first installed the rear rubber seal and clean up the hardware. The ends of the seal needed trimming to fit correctly under the top window seals, I used the originals as a guide. I peeled the self adhesive and installed from one end to the other with some slight stretching along the back edge of the top making sure the seal lined up with the inside lip of the top and always checked the other side as I stretched. I used an Xacto knife to make holes through the foam rubber, using the SS moldings as a guide. To prep for the new Perlon liner I removed the front targa pad and cleaned the bottom side of the top with glue remover and a scotch bright pad. I spray both the top and the liner with spray glue and let is sit for 5 minutes until tacky. The liner was perfectly cut and did not need any trimming. I started at the back edge working my way forward. After a test fit, the back of the top was still a sitting too high. I removed the top targa pad and then the latches. I filed out the holes on the latches so I could adjust them lower (per Spoke). Once adjusted the fit was much better, I adjusted the vent wing on the drivers side and the whole door on the passenger side. It is as good as it is going to get and much much better than before. Now it is obvious that I need the top window seals, once replaced I will have replaced all window seals. Much appreciation to Mark & Scott at 914Rubber.          Some before and after pictures |
