Replacement of the "Windshield Post Seal"
« on: October 18, 2019, 20:27:44 »
I am looking for an exploded view of the parts that need to be removed in order to replace the Windshield Post Seal. I have done some searching here and on-line, but so far, I haven't found anything. Does anyone know of a location with this detail?

Many thanks,

Roland

Possibly. It is hard to tell from the photo. I purchased it from BudsBenz and it has 2 parts to it. The photo shows only one part, but it looks like the vertical portion.

Do you have your car handy to compare?

Yes, picture 1 on the car and picture 2 shows both parts of the seal. It is a right angle part.

Not sure what you are looking for.

They just slip out.  No need for a diagram.

That's how I replaced mine

The one across the top seems to be completely hidden and the one down the side doesn’t seem to budge.
