109” body seal
« on: November 11, 2021, 12:57:26 PM »

Hi All
Could anyone on here tell me the part number for the rubber seal between the rear tub and upper body sides on a 109” hard top? Plenty of 88” but I can’t find any for the 109”

Last time I needed these seals I couldn't find SWB ones and ended up with 109" seals and cutting about a metre off the end.
You'll be back soon asking how they fit.....  :-X

Craig ......I am sure you are right because currently there are no seals fitted between the tub and upper bodysides so nothing to give me an idea how the new seals fit. The seals I have ordered look like the are just straight lengths of foam so I will be interested to know just how they fit around the rear corners?

When you get the seal you will look at it, offer it up and think, how the hell does that work.....

Hopefully the diagram below will explain.

The seal stands up on it's end and just hooks behind the lip on a spot welded plate on the upper side panels. It doesn't stay in place that well but should hang on long enough for you to flip the panel over and get it in place. Once there add the nuts and start tightening it down but go along the panel from the inside pushing the seal outwards and up against the side panel. As you tighten the nuts it will stay in place and compress to form a seal.

You are correct in saying the seal is just a roll. I guess you could cut the seal, mitre the corner and glue it back together but all I did was push the seal into the corner forming a tight curve around the outside of the corner fixing hole. It will make sense once you get all the bits together.  :cheers

You may also notice on my photo below Land Rover originally used lots of black glue. I didn't replace this just fitted the seals dry.
