So read some old threads trying to figure out how to install the front trunk seal from 914Rubber. It seems that many install with no adhesive for maintenance purposes, but I'm having trouble getting the seal to stay in place.
So some remedial questions: 1) Does this picture show the bottom (facing the ground) of the seal or do I have it backwards? 2) Do most people use weatherstrip adhesive? maybe just in the corners? 3) Can somebody post a picture of where this part goes? I don't seem to be able to find a picture anywhere. |

I just painted my car and installed new seals.
Place the seal in the channel and close the hood, making sure the seal stays in the channel. Then leave it alone for a few days. The seal will get compressed a bit and seat itself in the channel. |
