Before I replace the targa top and door piller rubbers, I need to review the ins/outs of this. Seems like there’s a good thread How To do this……

It took two sets of hands to get to the side targa top seal on. Keith Hully ( 914Toy ) assisted and we got the second track done in 35 minutes ! The first side took almost an hour.
First- I helps to have clean tracks. If the edges have any corrosion, the install is harder. Smooth any irregularities
Second- while one person pushes the inner lip into the track, the second person needs to steady the top so it doesn’t move around. Second person also holds flashlight on section being done (inner side)
Third- as stated by Mark, only try doing 1/2” at a time, sometimes we crawled along at 1/4” A short stubby screwdriver works best
Fourth- Measure twice, The new seal will be at least as long as the old seal
So, it’s done, the result is good.
