viking Posted March 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 So, a while ago i noticed a gap between the top of the door seal and the underside of the roof, i took them off and looked at them and pretty much just put them back hoping for miracle obviously didnt happen and there were still a gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted March 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 so i bought a roll of the sticky foam strip that i got for the seal that goes between the top of the windscreen and roof, stuck some on the seal retainer/bracket thing, drilled some holes in it and fixed it back in place, job done .
