Hey all! I'm new here, but I have a 1970 914, and I have replaced all of the Targa seals with 914 Rubber seals, but am running into some issues:
It seems like the root of the issue is the front lower in the center, but it does have the notch cut out. Anybody run into this issue and have any advice? Thanks all! |

Since the problem didn’t exist before, first guess is wrong side seals. Did you get early or late targa top side seals? This would effect door window gap.

I would guess that it's more likely that things are getting pushed up at the front (there's also a lot of wind noise there now), but here's the seal kit I got: https://914rubber.com/complete-targa-seal-k...for-porsche-914 |
