Default Body seal kit c3

Hello, where could i find mounting instructions for the body seal kit.
I have the assembly manual but i canīt find it there.
The manual is a nightmare to find anything in.

Hi R,
The body seal information IS in the AIM but is spread throughout the sections because the seals were installed at various stations as the car progressed down the line.
If you post a list of the seals you're looking for homes for I'll try to guide you.
Regards,
Alan

Get your choice of FCB, sit down, sip, and read through the AIM. The more you look through it, the easier it becomes getting use to it. All weatherstripping installation is shown in the AIM.

Hi Alan i found an old post of body sealing that you posted and i got most of the answers there,
But i have a bag that says upper and lower fender sealing.
I got a long striping that i think you should cut in to right length and 2 flat rubber flaps in that bag.

Hi R,
There was originally a rubber seal between the top front and top rear of the front fender aprons. That might be what you're describing.
Those seals can really only be replaced if the apron is separated from the the upper hood surround.
There were also a seal on the side of each splash pan at the bottom rear of each apron.
Might these be what you're looking at?
Regards,
Alan

Rear upper seal. (left side)


Front upper seal. (left side)

I have so much space so i could fit new sealings there so that is ok, but the 2 flat rubber sealings that also is in the bag i don't know what they are for.
