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 |

First off, the divider seal is backwards.
Does the frunk close well with it not installed? I think 914r first seal was a generic piece and the bead was too tall. IIRC somebody else had that problem and it took someone getting in the frunk to see it. |

We tried it both ways, too stiff and high for the frunk to close, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) will call 914Rubber guys and discuss. Thank you, |
