After a bit of work, I've managed to get my car waterproof..........almost. I'm still struggling with the trunk seal. I haven't glued it in yet thinking I may have to do a bit of shimming


congratulations!
interesting that on my car it had a shimming strip attached all the way around.
I also give my thanks to HH56 for sharing the SC, might come in handy

That's interesting. It also looks like it has a fibre type layer on the top, kind of like the old cloth electrical tape. Makes me wonder if that is the original factory seal?

That looks like the Bow Drill cloth they would cover some of the weather seals on convertible models with.
