I still haven't been able to drive my new baby, but maybe in a week or two if this darn snow would go away. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
I would like to replace the rear window seal on my 73 914. It is the seal on the outside at the bottom of the window. The one that is there curently, is pretty old, busted up, and brittle. I found what I think is the correct part on the Pelican website. They call it "Engine Lid Seal, Between Rear Glass and Engine Lid, 914 1.7/1.8/2.0 (1970-76), 914-6 (1970-72". Before I order this thing, I would like to know if anyone has any tips on first, how to remove the old one without removing the rear window (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) , and second, how to install the new one. Thanks. Warrenoliver |

QUOTE(watsonrx13 @ Mar 6 2007, 06:02 PM)  Rob, what rear window seal did you use? I found two types available. A OEM clip on style or an aftermarket glue on. Having done the job which do you think best? I am not inclined to remove the window because my window appears to be solid. I am interested in your comments. |

As you can see from my website, I installed the window first, then the seal, but I had the engine lid off... I hope this helps and let us know what your decisions are and how the outcome is... -- Rob |
