Hi guys Happy Presidents Day holiday,
I went to check out Sierra Madre’s new warehouse and bought some parts from them. One was a rear engine deck lid seal for the 1975 914. Thing is that I am somewhat skeptical why this seal has a textured finish rather than the smooth type. We went over the diagram and looks like the correct part number and location. Check out the picture:  Here is a mockup of where it should be:  Can you guys tell me about this? Why is it textured? Are these for the earlier 914’s? I am thinking of returning it. |

I bought the SM one years back and it wouldn't go on ,tried lubricant,swearing then beer.
I found it was made of 2 sections of rubber,I pulled the super glued join apart and fitted it in 2 pieces....been fine ever since,just not designed right. That moulding the OP is pinch weld ,looks like the decklid stuff as mentioned. |
