Description for Mini One Cooper S Convertible R52 (2001-2006) rear hood soft top weather rubber seal repair self adhesive. This DIY rubber repair kit is designed to replace the worn, cracked, or damaged rear weather seal on the soft top of the Mini Convertible R52. It replaces the rubber strip located above the chrome trim that runs along the rear of the vehicle, above the boot and quarter panels—areas commonly affected by aging, sun exposure, and weather damage. 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. Installation Steps: Step 1: Clean the surface thoroughly to ensure maximum adhesion. Step 2: Position the new rubber strip over the prepared edge where the old rubber was removed, allowing it to overlap slightly onto the roof material. Use additional adhesive to enhance bonding. Ensure correct placement, as adhesive sets quickly. The new rubber provides a slightly raised profile where it overlaps the chrome, improving the seal and helping to protect the roof ing from UV exposure. This repair solution has been tested through multiple UK seasons and remains durable under normal weather conditions. Care Instructions: Avoid high-pressure washing of the roof area. Clean with a sponge and rinse with water. For added security, apply super glue (not included) in concealed areas to prevent lifting due to movement, or use a bead of silicone if needed. For easier installation, remove the strip before cutting to avoid damaging the roof fabric. Tamper-proof Torx screws located under the chrome trim can be accessed by releasing the side latches (boot loading mode), allowing the lower roof section to be tilted up. Support it with a suitable prop during work. Package includes: 1x replacement self-adhesive rubber seal
