Window Seal: Service and Repair






Removing side window seal
Remove the side window seal with the convertible top open and the side window extended. To do this press the micro-switch in the windscreen frame and actuate the rocker switch at the same time until the side window is completely extended.
Pull side window seal down and out of the window profile.


Installing Window Seal:






Remove adhesive residues from above and below the window profile if present. Pull the side window seal from below into the window profile. Pull it in using soapy water as a lubricant.

Clean the upper seal end (free from grease and lubricant).
Coat the upper surface of the seal (see inset) with Loctite 480 instant adhesive, and bond with the profile of the side window.
