I have an odd problem on my 996 cab top, I'm going to have to fix this very soon as the rain is almost here and I have to put it back on for winter. Attached two pics of a stock 996 cab top inside, the problem on mine is the seal. Shown in one pic with arrows, its kind of moved or walked and isn't where its supposed to be. I tried to show what its like with the second pic with the red line. When I examined it I could not figure out how the seal attaches or how to move it back, does anyone have an idea? My suspicion is that someone stored my top wrong and it put force on the seal and over time it moved somehow. Thanks!

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.

Don't know what is happening with the attachments but can't get two pics on one post...
So I figured out what the problem was and how to fix it, it might help others in the same boat. The seal is held in place by hidden VHB tape, I peeled the seal back and replaced it with new VHB tape and lined it up correctly, the job was a PITA however as the old tape sticks to the rubber really well (after 18 years) so almost impossible to remove. I tried heat, force and solvent but nothing worked that well. Had to brute force most of it off and stick the new stuff on top. Here's a couple of pics if it helps
