GT6 MK3 Window Seals

[Colin Davies]

I am experiencing real difficulty in fitting the replacement window seals. Does anyone have any tips or advice to share please?

Which seals are the ones in question? Is the waist seals, inner and outer, on the doors?

advice   if it is the waist seals   here we go

tie 12" of cotton to each clip so when it flies off you can retreive it 

then  with 6 pairs of hands  

position the seal  start at the rear insert the lifting tool witha clip loaded  and slide along to the clip position 

with all the other hands and a short bit of timber and a mallet 

pull up the tool and clip,    with the timber on the seal  tap with mallet whilst pulling up the clip tooling  

when the clip flies off retrieve withthe cotton and repeat    this is nack that becomes very frustrating but it will start to work 

once you have the hang of it it gets better

Thank you, I can not imagine how six hands would work together, but I know two can't do it. Thank you.

Yes both, once I get the outer fitted.
