I am rebuilding my car from a shell, and have removed the soft to and all of the rain trail stuff - just bare metal now.

I thought that the hard top had a rubber seal around the bottom edge to make it water tight to the rear deck but I was mistaken.

There is a massive gap.

What an I missing to make that watertight? Have tried looking for diagrams, but can't find anything useful...

The hardtop sits on that to form the watertightness. Hopefully

It's the last thing I need to make it watertight do I can ship it out... Let's hope it turns up and I can make it work...
