Default Mugen Hardtop Rear Seals catching on windows when rolled up...

Hello!

Haven't posted here in years.

I've installed numerous hardtops over the years in my active s2ki days, but have run into an issue that I've never encountered.

A buddy of mine has an authentic Mugen FRP hardtop using the OEM Honda seal kit provided.

The hardtop fits just fine and flush, but for some reason, the rear seals keep catching on the windows when they are rolled up.

Any suggestions on fixing this issue?

Sounds like the top is sitting to far out to the side(s), allowing the window to hit the seal instead of slide up right against it.

The hardware just needs to be adjusted. The OEM hardware can be loosened and adjusted so that the top and seal can sit farther away from the windows (ie. more towards the center of the car).

What chris said! there are shims / plates on both sides that you can remove to also help out with fitment issues.

Did you grease the seals?
