Just wanted to say that installing the targa seals, main and all was maybe the worst job that I have had to do on this car. That tested my patience and hand strength like no other.

QUOTE(Ron914 @ Oct 27 2025, 02:16 PM)  A mistake I made when replacing the targa seals was cutting to fit right after install ,because they are a bit longer than the original . I was looking at my passenger side and I guess I stretched it so much while pulling on it that it shrunk after I cut it ,.. Yes this ^ .. try to compress them manually before cutting. There was some stretch in mine (from the incorrect mounting technique of pushing them into/thru the tracks) that got exaggerated after I made my cuts. I had to do the horizonal targa seals over because of it... used Ian's method the second time for less frustration too. |
