The 'E' Type Forum

I am on the hatch trimming and I don't know how to fit the PVC "seal" around the hatch metal aperture. Must I stick it on the metal with the "return" pvc lip beetween the rubber seal and the metal edge ?

Hi
I could also do with the same help please
I believe they are pop riveted on to the surround but then some are also glued?

Thanks
Phil

I stripped mine off at the start of my restoration and they were fitted as in Lataud's picture.

I did not remove rivets, so I assume they were glued.

The inner trim panels sit on top of them.

I need a very strong glue to stick it at the right place and some good press to keep it there !

I think the trim panel will keep it in place.

Warm it up with a hair drier and then glue a little bit at a time.

Angus you are right, I must take my time and stick it step by step.

Hi I have just done mine, its a task but take it slowly, fit it before aperture seal & inner panel trims its just glued with good quality adhesive ,glue both the body and trim, warm trim with heat gun as you go, a little at a time and mould it into place , then fit interior side trims etc and rubber apperture.

best of luck

Thanks I' ll do that

I began yesterday with e few inches :

and this morning, it's fine , so I continue.....

sorry to ask ,but were did you get the seal as I was told they are not avaliable any more.
