Pretty simple really.  Ripped off old seal after cutting it away parallel
to the rear edge of the flat seal (the factory pop top seal is one
piece).  I left my flat seal in place as it was in fine shape.  I
scrubbed the bottom edge of the pop top and scraped some glue off from
previous repair attempts and let dry thoroughly.  Then starting from one
edge of the flat seal just push the new seal on, down the side, around
the back, and up the other side, trimming to give a tight fit up against
the flat seal.  Was kind of a b***h getting it on around the sharp bends
in the rear corners but otherwise went on very easily.  Looks super!


Good luck!
