Tipidave Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hi all, Triumph Herald 1200 1966 I need to fit the weather seal to the convertible hood that mates with the top of the windscreen frame upon closure.I understand how it needs to fit but cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it. It keeps popping out. is there a technique for getting the seal to pop under the edges of the channel that it is sits in. hope this makes sense. thanks in anticipation of your collective pearls of wisdom in respect of installing seals.

Nick Jones Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 I sit one side in the groove and then work along the other side with a screw driver blade, tucking the seal into the groove. Sounds horrendous but actually quite quick and easy once you get the knack. Prone to coming out again if you stop half way - so don't!

Tipidave Posted June 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Thanks for this . I tried something similar with a palette knife but it didn’t work and I stopped. Will try with screwdriver and not stop!I am guessing that there will be a knack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Are you gluing it in place as you go? Little bit of adhesive down in the rail channel and as you get the rubber into place clamp it bit by bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
