On my '91 Carat the rubber seal is easily pushed away from the trailing edge of the front body panel allowing the hooks to seat in place against the metal. My biggest problem with attaching the bra is shoving the lower edge past the fiberglass body cladding. It is tight, but "doable". Hope this helps. bem ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karl M" <thewestyman@MINDSPRING.COM> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 10:08 PM Subject: bra installation on '88 and newer Vanagons?
