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  |

I fi ally had success with this install the other week. I started with the top portion first going from center and working outwards to the corners. Once at the corners, you can determine how much you need to trim the metal tabs to make a flush fit.
At the lower portion (vertical seals) the suggestion of working inside first in the channels and then using a flat edge tool to punch the outer side into the channel worked perfectly! Definitely use some glycerin which you can find at you local CVS store. |

Should you unclip the top and side or should you just trim it square and be done with it? Any info is appreciated. I'll post a pic later. |
