I'm installing a new targa seal and need some eyes on this. I removed the old one so long ago I can't remember if something is missing. The horizontal member seems empty and the seal doesn't stay put. Am I missing something or should something go on before the seal in photo 1?
In photo 2, I'm wondering about the little flap on the a-pilar seal land. The little flap seems long and prevents the seal from seating in the corner at the transistion to the horizontal member. Does that flap stay on or do I snap it off? Kev Photo 1 Photo 2 |

I am starting this task and see a lot of directly communicated info not placed on the forum. Does anybody know if it was posted? ...or any of the followup pics mentioned?

I am starting this task and see a lot of directly communicated info not placed on the forum. Does anybody know if it was posted? ...or any of the followup pics mentioned? Tx I did this task just this past weekend. I watched the 914Rubber video on it several times and while it did help, getting the sides into the chrome trim wasn't as easy as they made it look. I do recommend trimming a bit off of the metal tabs - I did it on the passenger side, but it was too late to do the driver's, and I wish I had. An early poster on this thread mentioned having to use sealant at one top corner to hold it down, and I had the same experience, but if I had trimmed the tab on that side, it may have prevented the need to do so. |
