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……

Thanks Jim,
The cutting is where the cuts like butter comment comes in. Sharp knife, soapy water. I like to cut long, and try to fit shaving off maybe 1/16" to get the fit perfect. You can tell as it's when the seal compresses onto the main block and doesn't "beer can" when you pull it tight. That will get a perfect watertight seal between the the two seals. |
