Hi all,

Put this in the general area, as guessing it's the same no matter the car.

This might seem a very obvious question, but on a Convertible, how do you fit the segmented door seal?

I found a piece of the door seal, which appears to have fallen out.
It's at the top of the window, fits onto between the frame of convertible and the canvas, and the window butts up to it.

I've pushed it back in, it lines up, but feels like it will just fall out again. I can't see any remnants of glue.

Any advice?

Thanks

Hi

I had this... from memory it needs to be carefully slid into place which is a bit of a faff but once in situ should stay in place... good luck!

Thanks very much.

Was thinking I might partially open the roof then give it a go

Just managed to get it back in.

You retract the convertible hood but stop midway once the main cabin covering has lifted.

At this point the three parts that form a seal around each window will be separated, and clearly visible.

It is then a case of putting in the bottom section of the window seal and then just pushing the top bit of the seal into place.

Close the roof and it should all be back to normal.
