Description for BMW Mini One Cooper S Convertible R52 (2001-2006) rear hood soft top weather rubber seal repair self adhesive. This product is a DIY rubber repair solution for replacing the worn or cracked rear weather seal on the soft top of the BMW Mini Convertible. It replaces the rubber strip located above the chrome trim, which runs along the rear edge above the boot and quarter panels—the area most prone to aging and sun damage. The seal is self-adhesive with 3M tape and measures approximately 2 meters in total length. Minor trimming may be required to fit the length and accommodate the third brake light. Installation Instructions: Step 1: Clean the surface thoroughly to ensure maximum adhesion. Step 2: Position the new rubber strip over the prepared area, aligning it with the flat edge where the old rubber was removed. Apply firm pressure to ensure proper bonding. Note that adhesive sets quickly, so accurate placement is essential. The new rubber has a slightly increased profile where it overlaps the chrome, improving the seal and helping protect the roof stitching from UV exposure. This repair has been tested through multiple UK seasons and proven durable under normal weather conditions. Care Instructions: Avoid high-pressure washing of the roof area. Clean with a sponge and rinse with water. For added security, apply a small amount of cyanoacrylate adhesive (not included) in concealed areas to prevent lifting, or use a silicone sealant if needed. Removal of the strip prior to full installation is recommended for easier trimming and to prevent damage to the roof fabric. Tamper-proof Torx screws located under the chrome strip can be accessed by releasing the side latches (boot loading mode), allowing the lower roof section to be tilted up. Support the roof with a suitable prop during work. Package includes: 1x replacement self-adhesive rubber seal
