Sun roof seals

[84E24]

Does anyone have pic's of a manual sunroof showing
how the seals are attached? PO stripped mine
before I purchased it. I have all new one, just
need to know how they fit.


Thanks,

They glue on, using clear 3M trim adhesive or similar. When viewed in profile (looks like a P) the flat side is glued to the roof opening, the rounded part contacts the sliding panel. The seal on the rear of the sliding panel is attached the same way, rounded part facing out. Be careful that each side is equal on both sections as they meet when the roof is closed to form a complete seal. If you don't have access to a parts guide, an illustration of the section is available on Maxmillian's Mobile Tradition parts site:

You can always download the images and enlarge 'em for easier viewing.
It's a fairly simple job, you should be fine.
