    Hi folks.
    Long time no write. I trust you are all well.
    My SA is running fine, in fact very well at 12 years old and 18K miles, except the constant fiddling with the tire pressures to keep the sensors happy!
    No real roof problems. Opens/closes OK. Struts OK at the moment and no delamination.
    However, I am getting a bit of curious curling of the rubber between the top glass and the rear glass.
    Any ideas on the best way to "stick" it back down properly and the right adhesive to use?
    Here are a couple of pics.
    Thanks
    PAUL

    Have a similar though less pronounced situation on my 550, interior side of the windows, the rubber strip is also popping up a bit from the leather underneath. Curious if there's a solution as well.

    Paul- It actually looks like the center part of the "T" seal has popped out of its channel in a couple of places. Have you tried to seat it with a plastic trim tool or piece of wood? Does not look like it will glue down without being seated first.

    Thanks Guys.
    Much appreciated.

    Good tip Terry. I tried pushing it down but did not seem to have the feel of there being a channel to pop into but will take another look with a tool.

    After that I guess things get a bit more sticky!:)

    Thanks again. both.
    Regards
    PAUL
