Seals

Seals

As a general rule, all seals must be glued into position using 3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive, with any adjustment being made before the adhesive hardens.

Note that the top of the A-pillar seal must be glued into position using a contact adhesive, such as Loctite Blackmax 380. In this case, the seal must be correctly positioned before the adhesive is applied. No other adjustment of the A-pillar seal can be made.


1 Top assembly front seal




The lateral positioning of the trailing ends of the front seal can be adjusted by loosening the nuts on the bolts securing the seal retainers. Fore-and-aft adjustment of the seal must be made before the adhesive hardens.

2 Top assembly side seals




Adjustment of the lateral positioning of the side seals can be made by slackening off the nuts on the bolts securing the seal retainers. Fore-and-aft adjustment of the seal must be made before the adhesive hardens.

3 Top assembly rear seal




Vertical adjustment of the rear seal can be made after the nuts and tie have been loosened and the adhesive bond broken.
