I'm reinstalling the trim strips around the rear window my Tiger factory
hard top. Or, I should perhaps say installing because they've never
been on the top during my ownership. I have the two clips, replacements
that I bought probably in the late '70s, but I want to be sure of what
to do with them. The originals did not come with the car.
The outer part that matches the contour of the trim is easy to figure
out. There is, however, a tab on the back that now would be sticking
straight into the gasket and top, but I'm guessing that this is supposed
to be crimped down against the backside of the trim strip to hold it in
place. Am I right? If not, then what?
Is this usually enough to hold the strips in place, or have some of you
added a little adhesive or RTV or something?
