Targa window seals

[Engineer1949]

Could any of the contributors here give me a steer in the direction of the old stile top window seal that fits to the targa sides

What is the shape of the earlier seal? I have that later seal on mine and I don't see how the windows can actually seal against it as to do so it seems like the windows have to come up further than the lip of the roof panel and then the doors wouldn't open...

Cheers

I just called D&C and spoke to Chris who it turned out was one of the guys who built my car! The seals I bought elsewhere are the wrong ones hence why I couldn't figure out how they fitted! D&C posting out the correct targa seal for the princely sum of £12. They couldn't have been more helpful.

How do you know which seals are needed .Is there a different channel on the Targa ..Weird thing is when i shut my door it pushes against the seal,the only way to do it is bring the windows down slightly .

I`m wondering if the seals are the wrong type .

The early versions use a rubber seal that is simply glued to the targa lid. Later versions use a rail and screws that hold the rubber in place.

Mine was sat inside when windows were closed as the rubber had hardened. The new ones are softer, more pliable and slip over the glass.

Hope that helps.

A shameless plug from me for Dave and Chris, top blokes, great work did a fantastic job with Kate's new interior last year. No connection with them, just a happy customer
