[TR] tr3 trunk weather-strip

[Frank Fisher]

i know this has been covered before but my search of the go back machine has
not turned up any results.
probably operator error!
so i just fitted my nice
new glossy original trunk lid to my nice and glossy TR3. new weather-strip of
course.
the weather-strip fitted real nice into my grove.
to get the trunk to
close i have to shim the budget lock.
having shimmed the lock and got it
closed the outer edges (lock stile only) are turned up and look terrible.
how
have you guys overcome this?
i did set all margins and shape to good with the
old weatherstrip in place during prep work in readiness for paint.
if you cut
your weather-strip, how did you cut it for a consistent shape? im not sure me
hacking at it with a box cutter is the best approach.
thanks
Frank
P.S. boy
those replacement hinges are a piece of junk eh?
