RR Lorry Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Hi All, Have an issue sealing around the upper rear tailgate on my 1989 RR classic. Seems there are supposed to be channels or a channel where the seals are located in. Am I right? If so I would appreciate some help in either obtaining these channels and rubber seals. Or if no longer available , a picture or diagram on what these items look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris200100 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I'm breaking a 89 classic at the moment I will see what it looks like on the one I got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanakapan Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Aperture Seal pt No MTC2398 Should run about £24 for a non OEM part The seal itself just pushes into a pressed channel thats spot welded to the body, you put one leg of the rubber seal in and carefully press the other in with a screwdriver or maybe a little wheel. The fit up on the top edge was I think poor from new ? The seal before squashing by the frame can show a tendency to want to pull out with age. I've noticed the Aluminium top frames seem to be a little tighter on the seal than the OEM parts, and can want to tear the seal in the corners. So its probably an idea to maybe lubricate the top edge of the frame with a LITTLE silicone grease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR Lorry Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 Thanks for the feedback. Looks like the rain water channel at the top of the upper tailgate frame is snagging the seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
