Ok unfortunately I could not find a repair instruction for these two seals and I have only done one set of these seals many years ago and that was on a 930S Slant nose car...I don't think the tops are different but they could be.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Ok unfortunately I could not find a repair instruction for these two seals and I have only done one set of these seals many years ago and that was on a 930S Slant nose car...I don't think the tops are different but they could be. But here is what I do remember: The upper seal has 3 or 4 little Philips screws that you need to remove to "un-sandwich" the inner and outer seals. The B-pillar seals have also three little screws that hold the seal and a metal plate to the convertible top frame. From the parts diagram it says there are nuts that screw on to studs on the plate but I don't remember that on the car I did. So fold your old seals around and look for possible places that there could be screws. If on the b-pillar seal you do not see screws in the front, try looking from the back seat side of the convertible top frame and there may be some 8mm, or 10mm nuts that hold the plate to the convertible top frame. I do not remember having to use any sealants, or clean up a bunch of glue from the seals. The job was relatively easy as I remember it. - Casey
