Colin Lindsay Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 Silly question of my day, anyway.... what way round does this seal go? I've tried about four different combinations and no one looks any worse or better than the others. I think it goes in front of the windscreen surround 'seam' with the lip outside the roof but pointing downwards, as in my photo... is that correct?

daverclasper Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Sorry, no idea. Is it worth emailing any Triumph restoration places with your photo, for advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 I think youve got it right in the photo. I know the lip definitely doesnt go the other way and hang out of the front but I vaguely remember having to cut the seal down because its an aftermarket replica which was nothing like the original and didnt allow the roof to fit! Could be wrong as it was a long time ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Flinn Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 I've just had a look at the Triumph Service notes for building up the body, but that doesn't really show the Roof front seal in any great detail, it just shows a guy using a Mastic gun to apply plenty of sealant to the top of the seal? What shape is the front section of the Roof like that attaches to the top of the windscreen surround, is it flat or is it shaped to accept the slight 'U' Section shown on the seal?

Gary The seal is a profile which will cause problems at either end, as it won't narrow to follow the curve of the roof, so I'd agree black sealant will be necessary. It's quite a complex shape - see photo, and seems to fit in several different ways, but I think I've now worked it out. The problem is that I can't decide whether to attach it to the bulkhead then fit the roof down over it, or fit it to the roof and drop it all in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
