I have two rubber outer roof seals to fit to the car - they were in the boot when I bought it. My problem is that I don't know which way round they need to go!!

There are two holes on one side of the seal and a piece of the lip has been trimmed off - see photo. The trimming was obviously done at some stage to improve the fit somewhere.

Can anyone recommend the correct way to fit them?

Cheers,

SteveO

Could you post a picture of the profile of the rubber please? Not sure on the fitting as I think mine are non-standard and as I'm getting a new roof next week, I'd like to make sure I get the correct seals.

I'm not sure that these seals are genuine.

Can someone post some pictures of their roof seals so I can compare?

Many thanks,

SteveO
