Hey all.
Many years ago we bought a GRP bootlid. We don't remember where from but we do remember that it was cheap.
A poor fit was expected but this is something else. Before it gets snapped in a fit of rage and slung in the bin I'd appreciate your input....
So we have the two types of seal. I tried the seal-on-body type (early) and it didn't work well so I bought and fitted the seal-on-panel type (later). Both failed to solve the problem, even without a seal it seems the radius of the curve on the panel is way off....
Seal on car:
(you can see the clips for the other type of seal here)
Seal on panel;
(I can fit my fingers through the gap)
And finally with no seal at all:
(top and bottom corners are acceptable but you can still see the clips for the seal).
It's been on and off a few times and no matter what adjustment is made, the gaps/alignment is so far off I'd have to nail the damn thing shut to get it even vaguely water tight.
