Hard top conversion - seals
« on: August 02, 2017, 06:14:24 PM »
Hi all, haven't been on for a while, but am in the middle of an FFR to hardtop conversion and so far going reasonably well, but... just need to check how the front hardtop/windscreen seal/s line up as the FFR of course doesn't use this system.

I've bought the 2 seals recommended. The ridged one goes into the existing lip of the hard top so no problem there (I pulled out the old one), but a smaller flat one is also listed to stick to the flat windscreen edge.

Question then, does it in fact stick down inline and 'under' the hardtop seal so it would be running in line as per the pic (the seals of course would be on top of each other, I'm just holding in temp position).

Some feedback would be appreciated here as I don't want to put the seals together incorrectly. It just seemed a bit odd to crush them together underneath each other?!

The flat one goes at the very front to fill in the gap between the screen surround and the roof.

Ahhh, thank you Dervish, I was hoping someone would say that as it didn't make sense to crush them together and I did also wonder if it was meant to be a seal in front.
The hardtop profile seal really does look like it should do the job by itself and not be deformed by some other silly seal under it.
It was just that I didn't have any previous example to show how they sat, nor did the parts manual show this, so thank you very much, appreciated.
