The rectangular flat part should be glued into the "bottom" of the channel, not the lip, and then the flappy blade bit pointing outward to contact the boot lid. Of course if the seal is from West Coast Metric or T3D it probably won't fit or seal properly anyway, as previously discussed in this thread! ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Seaton <mark.seaton2@ntlworld.com> To: Type3 Mailing List <type3@vwtype3.org> Sent: Sunday, August 26, 2001 7:17 PM Subject: RE:[T3]rear hatch seal > I'm a bit confused about these seals.
