Re: Boot lid seal

I has just fitted a boot seal. I purchase the clip on style because removing the old glue from the boot lid was an experience I never wish to repeat
It fits very nicely around the front and sides of the boot but the lip on the back edge faces in the wrong direction. The seal fits easily but the boot will not close. I tried moving the boot lid backwards but at the max extension it still wouldnt close and the gap between the lid and body was much to wide.
I have included photos of how I modified the seal to fit.
The boot lid now shuts with a firm push and is nice and firm once closed. The glue seems to be holding up nicely. It reminds to seen if it leaks, bearing in mind it isnt allowed out in the rain.
I like the end result. Much better than trying to glue a seal to the lid.
