So I got new side seals and am reusing the old rear seal. I'm assuming the side seals need to be trimmed, but my question is by how much? I don't remember how they mated together.
This photo shows the side seal running all the way to the end of the track. Attached image(s)

QUOTE(SirAndy @ May 19 2004, 09:53 AM) don't trim your side pieces!!!! they are correct! the back seal (the one that makes the big arch) needs to go down past the side pieces (in front of them). it looks wrong from your pictures. the back seal should point somewhat downward not upward. i think you might got it in flipped, can't really tell from the pictures ... but it needs to overlap the side peices on both ends ... Andy The back seal is pointing downwards, the picture is kind of funky. In that first photo showing the rear (old) seal, there is a little portion say 1/2" long, that isn't "squished". Is that where that back seal ran past the vertical channel? I need to look at it more tonight, but it would appear that I need to trim like 1/4" of the side seals back so the vertical could run past it. I know rubber likes to shrink a little with age. Thanks for the paint comments, it's less than a week old. |
