I have installed the soft top door rubbers with the ridge side of the rubber facing the door but thought I would check first if this is the right way around.
The remanufactured rubbers are a lot harder rubber than the original and also a lot harder to fit! They will not slide in like the (squashed) factory original on the left of the above photo and need to have one side placed in the aluminium holder rail and the other side carefully pushed in - with lots of dry lube!
I have not put the door frames in yet so have yet to see how unsuitable these - maybe too heavy duty- remanufactured rubbers are.
I did wonder why these replacements (from Rimmers) were so hard. I assumed they were a necessary improvement as the soft originals had ripped and bent out of shape (mind you they are 40+ years old).
I had carefully cut and installed them now after some effort and I cant be bothered re ordering and re assembling..See how I go with them.
No one seems to know yet which way around they fit.
