Hi guys Happy Presidents Day holiday,
I went to check out Sierra Madre’s new warehouse and bought some parts from them. One was a rear engine deck lid seal for the 1975 914. Thing is that I am somewhat skeptical why this seal has a textured finish rather than the smooth type. We went over the diagram and looks like the correct part number and location. Check out the picture:  Here is a mockup of where it should be:  Can you guys tell me about this? Why is it textured? Are these for the earlier 914’s? I am thinking of returning it. |

That is not the correct seal for the rear window to engine lid. It appears they sold you the rubber piece that go around the trailing edge of the engine lid. Remember it's in three pieces....

I bought the SM one years back and it wouldn't go on ,tried lubricant,swearing then beer.
I found it was made of 2 sections of rubber,I pulled the super glued join apart and fitted it in 2 pieces....been fine ever since,just not designed right. That moulding the OP is pinch weld ,looks like the decklid stuff as mentioned. |

Dammit I new something was wrong. I should of trust my instincts, but I got it anyway just in case. I am returning this.
Looks like it goes here, I cannot see any other seal that looks the same.  When working on cars always expect some setbacks huh? |

The packaging is clearly marked. A management and staffing problem.
