964 noddy question

[PaulZR]

Is it pretty straightforward to fit a bonnet seal to a 964? Mine has seen better days and the bonnet is leaking as a result. Getting the car serviced tomorrow and don't want to get them to do it and pay the labour if it's a piece of cake.

I've fitted boot seals to other cars, made a mess of the seal, glue everywhere. Personally let the proffessionals do it. Can't be more than an hours labour. Costs more to buy another seal and clean the glue off.

Changed mine not to long ago, very easy.

The bonnet seal on a 964 is very easy to do - and doesn't need any glue. The factory fitted original certainly IS glued in place, but it's not really necessary. There is enough grip in the channel to hold the seal in place and once the bonnet is shut it's not going to move.

The new seal is all in one piece and you'll have to put it on OVER the rear of the bonnet to get it the right side of the hinges. Then just push it into the channel - job done. Takes 10 mins max.

Which seal? The one surrounding the bonnet or the one along the front bumper?
