Description for Mini One Cooper S Convertible R52 (2001-2006) rear hood soft top weather rubber seal repair self adhesive. This product is a DIY rubber repair solution for replacing the worn or cracked rear weather seal on the soft top of your Mini convertible. It replaces the rubber seal located above the chrome trim, which runs along the rear of the vehicle above the boot and quarter panels—the area most susceptible to aging and sun damage. The seal is made of self-adhesive rubber with 3M tape backing and measures approximately 2 meters in total length. Minor trimming may be required to fit the length and accommodate the third brake light. Instructions: Step 1: Clean the surface thoroughly to ensure maximum adhesion. Step 2: Position the new rubber strip over the area where the old rubber was removed, overlapping slightly onto the roof material. Use additional adhesive to enhance bonding. Ensure correct placement, as the adhesive sets quickly. The new rubber provides a slightly raised profile over the chrome, improving both appearance and weather sealing while protecting the ing from UV exposure. This repair has been tested through multiple seasons in various weather conditions. Avoid high-pressure washing of the roof area. Clean gently with a sponge and water. For added security, apply a small amount of super glue (not included) in concealed areas to prevent lifting, or use a bead of silicone if needed. The strip can be removed temporarily to facilitate cutting and installation, minimizing risk to the roof fabric. Tamper-proof Torx screws located under the chrome trim can be accessed by releasing the side latches (boot loading mode), allowing the lower roof section to tilt up. Support the roof with a suitable prop during installation. Package Includes: 1x replacement self-adhesive rubber seal
