I can now see why I had no problem fitting my seal, I was intrigued and so trolled back through all my old receipts to one back in 2016.
I had nothing but an empty shell on Ruby with little or no internal trim or woodwork, however I did have the original glass, no seal but did have the very battered original internal rectangular trim piece that held the rear window in place.
So having made all my own woodwork inside (copying photos of someone else’s Ruby) when it came to fitting the rear glass I purchased my rear seal from Woolies, catalogue number R36.
So having cut the seal to size I simply glued the two ends in place and was able to pull the outer section through the gap with the twine and the whole unit was then held in place by the newly made trim piece.
So I did not have the “top hat” problem
