Has any genius managed to fit the weatherstripping for the rear side windows on a series 1 FHC? What the factory calls the “no draft ventilators” that are hinged at the front? It appears that the strip is intended to run in a channel around the opening?
The Seal (BD20500) should have what looks like a “T” section on the backside of the Seal. This section fits into a channel that is pop riveted to the Quarter Window opening in the body. The method I use is to fit one leg of the top of the “T” into the channel and then press the other leg into the channel using a Minus Driver with a circa 8mm wide blade. The process is the same as when eating an elephant; one bite at a time till finished.
Yup, slow going, but looks promising so far. The car is on xkedata.com.

glass is now installed plus the interior is ready to be trimmed. Many
tnaks for your help!
