Question for the pros:
Ordered a lot of stuff from 914rubber.com (thanks to everyone there, btw). I've laid out the front trunk main seal, but I'm not sure which side is up-or-down. Also, for those that have installed this, do I need any adhesive? My memory tells me I don't however I bought some from pep-boys, and I'm thinking to put a small bead in the corners. Thanks in advance!    |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I believe the bottom part should extend further out. The idea I think is to have water get caught by that and channel out the drains in front. So you should mostly see the bottom part of it when looking down through the gap in fender / hood.
I didn't use any seal. I found mine set nicely in just by pressing it in, and it's easy to pull out for cleaning out, inspection, etc. That becomes important if your teener sees weather on a regular basis. |

Hi Rob,very true,mine as far as I know is original,after the repaint someone glued the whole thing in ,no rust underneath but the seal was really stuck in there and had split on some of the bonded joints....thing is they need to move IMO ,I purchased weatherstrip glue and intend to repair the split joints. |
