Dear Dave Stevens,

Hope you're well and stay so! I just looked at the rear hatch seal on my 940. It is factory-original. No adhesive was needed/used.

The seal incorporates a strip of continuous flexible, resilient metal ("jaws") that is pressed onto the pinch-welded body metal around the hatch opening.

If the seal is removed carefully - pulled rearwards with little twisting, so that the "jaws" are not spread much - the seal can be reinstalled by pressing it into place. If the seal's "jaws" are spread too far to grip firmly, the "jaws" can be finger-compressed to restore the gap to the factory-width.

It is important to align the seal with the opening, so that the seal's curved upper corners match the metalwork's curves.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
