Working on the well tried theory of 'forewarned is forearmed' can anyone help me out on the following

I need to replace the rubber moulding at the base of the rear windscreen..
Is there a 'tried & tested' method ..
Does the moulding just pull off ?
Is there any sealant required .

It is a job I so want to get done as the present mouldings sure look 'sad'.
Thanks folks

It's screwed on from the underside, so you have to remove the panel, take the screws out, remove the metal fittings then the rubber can be removed.

Have you been able to find a new rubber? I tried in vain and ended up buying a rotten rear panel but with a good rubber, and changing it over.

HI Richard Thank you for your 'super fast ' reply .......... Ahh that info is so helpful to me ... BUT have now got a 'niggling doubt' and ask myself have I got the correct rubber ?
Because it sound as though they are hard to 'come by'....., the one, (I now hope correct )I bought from Winns last week to me it looks the part ..
price £69 .00 +vat .. it is on their site , so could you check it out .
I have recently had an 'op' and cannot travel to where my car is stored (p6 3500.Corsican Blue) so cannot get to actually "see and feel" the job at the moment , so please excuse my ignorance if I ask .. so, is the panel to be removed to be unbolted from inside the boot.
Over the week I have purchased some great 'bits' for my car BUT , cannot get over to fit them , so frustrating !! after all ,you can only absorb so many hours of YOUTUBE music and films ... I think I have seen SINK THE BISMARK more times than I care to admit .
Thank you Richard .

Looks like they are now available, I did mine quite a while ago now. That's good news.

You need to remove the fuel filler cap, which can be a bit of a struggle (undo the four screws around it, then from inside the boot undo the large jubilee clip(s) around the filler pipe, and give it all a good wiggle, them remove it through the decker panel.

There are then three 90 degree brackets along the rear of the panel which are just unbolted, and two at the front which can be undone from inside the boot.

I know how you feel with the frustration of having a classic car after an op, I had a triple heart bypass during Sparky's rebuild :eek:

Now, that, was a 'reall '' op !!! mine was a mere double hernia, ' kids stuff' compared to yours!!! Wow.
Thanks for the info .. will be so useful .appreciated
I bought my P6 from down near Torquay, in July, overheating problems on the way back (and ongoing) plus a failed sensor on the gearbox !! did not get us off to a good start .but 'she' is getting sorted and still worth the effort !! .

Just a heads up, I bought a Scotts Auto rubber seal and it did not fit well. I know Scotts sold a lot of his stuff to the UK so you may end up with the same problem as me if Winns' got theirs from Scotts.
