torn cabriolet window seal

2002 C4 Cabriolet

Any one replace the seal on the convertible top. Mine tore on the passenger side where the small rear window comes up.

Have not fixed a torn seat. But, if you purchase a new top, I strongly recommend GAHH. The quality of their replacement tops are excellent and having a rear glass window with a defroster is well worth the extra cost.

Must be a common problem. Mine did the same thing (MY03 Carrera Cab).

This seal on the drivers side of my car has been torn for several years now. I think the piece costs about $150. To date I have not replaced it.

I did some research and you can't buy the seal from Porsche you have to by the frame piece and seal. It would cost over $400 to fix a piece of torn rubber. I love my car but sometimes Porsche's pricing is insane. Thank god they make black duct tape.

Mine was torn through badly in the same way, I repaired it by using a hollow door seal as you would find inside the boot(trunk) of a car and bonding it inside the tube section with clear flexible glue. I simply cut the hollow tube away from the boot seal openned up the hollow tube of the window seal cut the shape to fit whilst dry then used the glue as easing solution to get it deep inside the fitting and allowed it 24 hrs to cure.

To date it has held up ( a year) but I do ensure that I lubricate it with a very very small quantity of silicon grease (on both sides to prevent the same thing occurring).
