Description for 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 Mini Convertible. It replaces the rubber strip located above the chrome trim that runs along the rear edge above the boot and quarter panels, an area commonly affected by aging and sun exposure. The repair 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. Instructions: Step 1: Clean the surface thoroughly to ensure maximum adhesion. Step 2: Apply the new rubber strip over the prepared flat edge where the old rubber was removed, slightly overlapping onto the roof material. Use additional adhesive to reinforce bonding. Note: Adhesive sets quickly, so ensure correct placement before application. The new rubber provides a slightly increased profile where it overlaps the chrome, improving both appearance and sealing performance. It helps protect the roof from UV damage and restores weatherproofing. This repair has been tested on an R52 model and proven durable through multiple seasons in various weather conditions. Avoid high-pressure washing of the roof area. Clean with a sponge and rinse with water. For added security, apply a small amount of super glue (not included) in concealed areas to prevent lifting, or use a bead of silicone if needed. For easier installation, the strip can be removed temporarily to allow trimming away from the vehicle, minimizing risk to the roof fabric. Tamper-proof Torx screws 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
