In this video I'll help demystify the process of installing the targa seal, and show how easy it is to install the other main seals. It's important to have good seals beacuse 914s rust when you look at them. Keeping water out means keeping rust at bay.

Perfect timing. Just about to replace the targa seal on my 73. Ian's video's always save me from learning the hard way.

Another well done and needed video, Ian. I’ve had the full set of seals for at least a year, and this video gives me the motivation and confidence to git ‘er dun! Thank you!

Go for it!

Again, another great video Ian. This has given me a better visual path for when I install mine in the spring when the weather is warmer here in the PNW. Thank you!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the tips! Usually after I fight with these things and great really frustrated, I will scream, "NO WONDER YOU LOST THAT WAR!" Then I ponder "How did they do this at the factory?"

@IanKarr 16 дней назад

Ha! that's deep.

Thank you for posting this! I bought a full kit from 914Rubber last summer, and I've been procrastinating getting started on this project. Now I'm ready after watching 👀 this! 😁🫡

Thanks for sharing these visual learning tools. They’re very helpful as I put my 72 back together.

I was able to slide the A pillar parts of the Targa seal into place. It was not the same version as your seal, though, as 914rubber didn't even exist at that time. Lots of glycerine on that effort... I also suggest letting the seal sit out in the sun for a bit to warm up before you install it--that tends to make any of the seals more pliable and easier to work with.

Did you ever think about these cars on the production line? All these seals and the time we take to install...and Otto, Hans und Uve were punching out a hundred or so cars a day or so. Given this video...I think I'll either re-install my Targa seal...or even replace it again...rhanks, Ian... another great video!

@IanKarr 5 месяцев назад

I'm sure they had specialized tools to make quick work of everything!

@Qspecialman 5 месяцев назад

Nice video Ian. Any suggestions where I might find the fitting of the Targa Top seal that the top of the window butts up to please?

@IanKarr 5 месяцев назад

Do you mean the black piece at the top of the triangle window? Try 914rubber.com

@kevinclark2642 4 месяца назад

Hey Ian, great video as always. You mention "the little end piece" at about the 16:10 mark. I think I need a few of those. Do you know if 914Rubber or someone else sells them?

@IanKarr 4 месяца назад

Yep! I’m pretty sure I bought mine from 914R

@jlance6753 5 месяцев назад

Still looking for a vid on the back window.

@IanKarr 5 месяцев назад

Here's a quick summary...Clean glass. Clean window frame (and add butyl primer). Apply bead of butyl. Put spacers against the frame at bottom to keep the glass form hitting the metal. Press glass in place.

Wait... there's a screw there? Who knew? Probably like 99.5% of everything on a 914, it varied by model year. I remember how sore I was after this battle. Someone on the FB 914World group recently claimed that they pushed their A-pillar seal all the way down the channel (after I told them that wasn't a thing). I wonder how sore they were after that.

@IanKarr 5 месяцев назад

ha! I can't see how that would be possible, but congrats to them!

@@IanKarr I agree. I tried. Made it like two inches and punted.

Waiting for a video on how to fix the washers (Spare wheel pressure, not electric) and the associated valves / washer stalk :(

@IanKarr 3 месяца назад

Thanks, Chris. When you say “fix” the washers, what’s wrong with yours?

@chrisphillips2358 3 месяца назад

@@IanKarr The water just dribbles out of the spray nozzels! Ive replaced the 4mm water tubes, the actual spray nozzels that squart the water, plus the line that goes to the spare tire and the water bottle seams to presurize ok. If i leave the system presurized over nght the tire looses a lot of air. I cant even see where the valve unit sits near the stearing column to take a look at that!!

@IanKarr 3 месяца назад

@@chrisphillips2358 Clearly seems to be a pressure loss somewhere. Might be in the steering column switch...

@chrisphillips2358 3 месяца назад

@@IanKarr Indeed... Do you know/have any pictures as to where the switch is or what it looks like? Cant find anything on the interweb!

@IanKarr 3 месяца назад

The washer trigger is integrated with the wiper switch. Personally, I think it’s better to install an electric pump rather than topping off the spare tire
