1986 Cab window seals - recovering the seal


Slocs

Recommended Posts

Team, my 1986 3.2 Cab's window seals (above door windows and the B pillar) have the common problem of the fabric covering peeling.  No problems I thought, I'll just purchase new seals.  Unfortunately I need both my kidneys, and can't really justify selling one to purchase the seals!

So, has anyone recovered their seals?  I'm guessing Targa's have the same issue.  Looking at Pelican's forum, the fabric appears to be a cotton or poly cotton canvas.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated! 

Cheers, Rob

On my old targa I just peeled all the fabric off and carried on. Car was quite watertight as the rubber seals were OK. I believe the fabric covering is purely for aesthetic purposes as with the hood down or targa top off so much rubber is visible and the canvas/fabric looks better.

Thanks Sopor - I'll remove one of the seals and have a play around with it.  I suspect the fabric wore off the top seals because the window raises slightly too high - I'll muck around with that too!

Cheers,


Rob
