Rear window rubbers on 996 Cab

[Guest]

I'd like to replace the rubbers that edge the rear quarter windows on the cab, where they butt up to the door windows, as they are now very worn.

Has anyone done this? Is it just a case of prising them off? Don't want to start only to find out it's another tricky fix!

Thanks.

Removing and installing side window seal (Cabriolet)

Removing side window seal

Remove the side window seal with the convertible top open and the side window extended. To do this press the microswitch in the windscreen frame and actuate the rocker switch at the same time until the side window is completely extended. Pull the side window seal down and out of the window profile.

Installing side window seal

Remove adhesive residues from above and below the window profile if present. Pull the side window seal from below into the window profile. Pull it in using soapy water as a lubricant. Clean the upper seal end (free from grease and lubricant). Coat the upper surface of the seal -1- with Loctite 480 instant adhesive and bond with the side window profile.
