hi everyone.
I have purchased a new boot seal rubber from Rarespares and have no idea how to  fit it or even what it is supposed to look like when installed. .
can someone  point me to some instructions  or photos of how to do it  please?
cheers.

Shannon there are 3 flat sides and a shaped section on the boot rubber. The 3 flats go into the boot channel with the shaped section pointing in towards the boot opening. If the seal is put in with the shaped section pointing out the rubber tends to get trapped between the body and the boot lid.
