Hi,
I am replacing ALL of the rubber in our '74 2.0. All is going well though the TARGA pieces are a bear. In the frunk the seal that goes around the entire frunk will not allow the lid to close all the way without bending the lid!!! Seems that it is too tall? The old rubber though beat up, fits and allows the lid to close fine. I have a note into 914Rubber, but I thought I would ask the team here if this is a common problem? THANK YOU ctc911CTC |

Door and trunk fit in general is a common issue with new seals, same issue with the Alfas after replacing seals and is a an ongoing conversation with other communities as well.
Doesn’t NOT mean it should be like this however. |
