easypops 8 Posted July 22, 2016 Did you manage to do this? I can't seem to move the seal? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VEEDUBBED 0 Posted July 23, 2016 Er no guys, the Seal is first put on around the tailgate's glass then the glass is glued back in.. Getting it off is easy, it's putting back on properly that catch's you out. Many just cut the seal's locating lip and glue the lot in, a real shout way of doing it imo.

easypops 8 Posted July 23, 2016 The glass is out and that seal is toast, hopefully today I can tease out one from the breaker without any damage and it can then be fitted with the glass when going back in :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted July 23, 2016 Are we on about the same thing here? The beading that goes round outer edge on outside? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypops 8 Posted July 23, 2016 Are we on about the same thing here? The beading that goes round outer edge on outside? That's the bit I'm on about :) When I did a search I found conflicting views, but as yourself and davidwort say it can be done , I'm happy to trust it can :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypops 8 Posted July 23, 2016 So, tried the seal on the breaker, it's very well stuck, no real movement, I will try again, so I opted to try the one on the red car......I'll be swapping that one anyway.......it came out quite easily, it's not exactly perfect but it's better than nothing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roger Blassberg 0 Posted January 27, 2018 Veedubbed. Some time ago you said you have a spare tailgate seal. If you still do have one please let me know. Best wishes RB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VEEDUBBED 0 Posted January 27, 2018 Pops had the last one mate. Sometimes they pop up on ebay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1xshaunx1 27 Posted January 28, 2018 Unfortunately I’ve found if you want a seal the only way to get it off undamaged is to smash the glass and gently tease it from the bonding glue/rubber that it was stuck to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
