Haven't looked at my car but are you sure that it is not installed up side down? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I have 4 cars here and wouldn't you know it. None of them have the seal installed. The 5th one is outside on a trailer with a tarp over it under 3' of snow.

Could it be that someone used a factory seal but installed it wrong, while replacing the first factory seal. the convention i agree most certainly applies when talking about separate parts that are on opposite sides of car. ie where there is a L and R version of the part. i wouldn't go so far as to say that logic applies to the trunk seal. its a one piece part, not a left and right version part. the trunk seal i can assure you has never been out of my car since 89. i can't vouch for it 1974 to 1989 and first owner. but the car is highly original. there is a factory build sticker and stamp up near the latch on the lid to go with seal. and the car has never been repainted. there are other members who have not meddled with their cars. they could take a look at their seals. @StarBear has a very original 74. see what his seal is like. EDIT i don't want to meddle with the seal on mine too much. but rolling a piece that is loose at the front, i can't really see how it can go on the other way. its an asymmetric profile and it would tend to want to poke out along the edges of the trunk lid. it seems to be designed to fill the body channel and to come out to edge of panel gap on trunk lid. |

@mepstein
i got curious to take a look at factory manual. i could not find anything in there easily. but PET shows this.  assuming that is an up and down orientation shown in PET. and it appears to be. seal in my car agrees.  the only outcome is L is on the right of the car and R is on the left of the car (in the direction of driving). to get it the other way around this asymmetrical seal will not agree with PET and if its an OEM one i believe its edge will be sticking out from underside of front lid when closed. so think the L and R mean as you look down on the seal installing it with the front trunk open. would not be the first time we have found inductive logic does not work when it comes to 914s. for instance a 1974 EC-A engine is california. But in 1975 an EC-b engine is california. |

@wonkipop
I replaced my front trunk seals a few years ago with 914Rubber ones. I might (?) still have my old ones hanging around (I'm retentive like that); will check. |

Or L and R make sense for the installer when facing into the frunk. |
