Description for Mini One Cooper S Convertible R52 (2001-2006) rear hood soft top weather rubber seal repair self adhesive. This DIY rubber repair kit is designed to replace the worn, cracked, or damaged weather seal on the rear of the Mini convertible soft top. It replaces the rubber seal located above the chrome trim, which runs along the rear edge above the boot and quarter panels—the area most prone to aging, sun exposure, and environmental damage. The repair strip is made of high-quality rubber with 3M adhesive backing, approximately 2 meters in total length. Minimal trimming is required to fit the length and to 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, and press it firmly into place, slightly overlapping onto the roof material. Proper alignment is critical as bonding occurs quickly. The new seal has a slightly increased profile where it overlaps the chrome, improving both appearance and weatherproofing while helping to protect internal ing from UV exposure. This repair has been tested through multiple UK seasons and proven durable under normal conditions. Avoid using high-pressure water cleaning methods such as jet washing on the roof or seal. Use a soft sponge and bucket rinse for cleaning. For added security, apply a small amount of cyanoacrylate (super glue, not included) in concealed areas to prevent lifting due to movement. Alternatively, a bead of silicone can be used if needed. For easier installation, the strip can be removed and cut away from the vehicle to avoid damaging the roof fabric. Tamper-proof Torx screws are located beneath the chrome strip and can be accessed by releasing the side latches (boot loading mode), allowing the lower roof section to be tilted upward. Support the roof with a suitable prop during work. Package Includes: 1x replacement self-adhesive rubber seal
