I'm installing a new targa seal and need some eyes on this. I removed the old one so long ago I can't remember if something is missing. The horizontal member seems empty and the seal doesn't stay put. Am I missing something or should something go on before the seal in photo 1?
In photo 2, I'm wondering about the little flap on the a-pilar seal land. The little flap seems long and prevents the seal from seating in the corner at the transistion to the horizontal member. Does that flap stay on or do I snap it off? Kev Photo 1 Photo 2 |

Okay, this is my 7th attempt at trying to install the main targa seal. I keep getting hung up with the upright seal channel. Using glycerin now and only getting 5 inches or so down the channel and then nothing.
Definitely frustrating especially with the current downpour of rain were getting now and I have to mask off the targa and window gaps in between attempts. This is the 914 Rubber version. Attached thumbnail(s) |
