The engine lid on my 1971 doesn't seem to fit correctly. See the picture below.
Note the lid seems to be too low in front by the rear window. The rubber seal is 914Rubber. I don't see a way to close the gap other than bending or rewelding the brackets. It looks like the brackets came like that from the factory. What am I missing? Where there different lids on different model years? Anyone have a trick/idea on how to close the gap.? Thanks, Peter Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(rgalla9146 @ Nov 9 2021, 04:36 AM)  Seems odd that the shut line on the drivers side looks nice and uniform...... or is that the angle of the picture ? Has this been verified? It looks aligned correctly in the photo, but could just be the angle. Mine has the original rubber strip and it's shaped such that it drops down over the ledge to meet the top of the engine lid. Yours looks flatter and doesn't appear to drop over as much as mine, but it's hard to tell from the one photo. If the rubber strip is flat then I don't think it's shaped correctly. |

Could you show a picture of that. Wonder if I have my old seal in a box somewhere. |
