Dear All

I'd like to get my roof retrimmed as the rubber seal around the base on the door/window joint don't do what they should its split - anyone know where I can get the rubber strip/seal replaced and fitted and also retrim the rubber strip on the roof panels themselves ??

Cant take anymore rain drops !!

I ordered the rubber seal from David Geralds. The seal is easy to replace ~ I used a rubber mallet to knock it on. Ask for sufficient to go around the door/window frame and also the rear hood. I also ordered the seals for the Targa top from the same place. These are slightly trickier to replace as it is possible to glue them offline causing gaps between the window and seal itself. The seal around the frame is not exactly cheap though !
Beware the seal can be too efficient as mentioned in Steve's Bible, I had to cut a vee in the seal at the bottom of the door otherwise water was coming in instead of out !
