Hi Guys,
I hope you guys have more time than I do to keep up with the work on your
cars.
I have a question along the lines of bad seals while we are on the subject. My
roof seal has broken to pieces and my 89gti has been needing to be wet vac'd
out after every rain. I'm talking about the seal that runs the length and goes
thru where the door seals. How is the easiest way to get this thing off. Is
this special tool mentioned in the bentley necessary? Thanks as always
Mike

I plan on going to Home Depot to get some heavy mil
plastic and industrial strength double sided tape.
Course it rained today and there's water inside the
car again. Grr... If VW still made the freaking
shower curtains I'd have installed it yesterday!
