A Post Rubber Seals

Share this page

Yes, Julian, I think you had it correct the whole
time as shown in the picture you posted -- the
side-by-side photo.

I ran to the garage and found an old piece of the
second rubber and I have a slight correction to make.

There are only two pieces, not three, as the hard finsh
strip I have been referring to (maybe your fuzzy??) is
one piece part and parcel of that second fat-rolled
rubber.

Do you have the other rubber of which I speak or just
the one you've been showing?
 
Yes, I have the other rubber of which you speak /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif It's the "fuzzy door trim" made of Bristleflex. Here's the Moss picture (part #259-855):

I think what I will do is leave the A post seals where I have them, and do the rest of the job, see how everything mates up, and then revisit their orientation. Now that I know I don't need to crimp them under the aluminium topper, I don't need to be sure they're right at this time.
 
Okay. The way the rubber was on originally is
the correct way as well as you had it shown in the
side by side.

This fuzzy strip goes on the thin edge of the
windscreen utilizing the narrowest open edge of the
rubber. The fat part of the fuzzy strip rubber
installs away from the interior of the car.

the round bit facing out, ie on the edge of the a-pillar. The round bit channels water before it hits the glass side window.
