Can you adjust the roof seal?

[Sumilidon]

Hi.

On my drivers side, I have a gap between the windscreen rubber and the window rubber. Basically, the one on the roof, drivers side window, that meets the A pillar. I have adjusted the roof latches to make it tighter which has worked, but it's still got a small gap.

I notice that where the rubber meets the next one (as you move to the rear of the window), it's squished up. This makes me think it's set just a little too far back, and if I can move it just a millimetre forward, I would be able to close the seal at the front and still keep the seal at the rear. I cannot find any guides however on potentially loosening this, moving slightly and then re-tightening etc. Does anyone have any idea / guides to adjust this?

Some pictures would help tbh.

I'll need to grab one tomorrow but on this diagram, I am referring to part 12. It butts up tight to 13 (Maybe too much) but there's a very slight gap between it and the A pillar.

If you think it butted up to tightly to part 13 just remove it and reinstall it. Worth treating your rubbers with some gummifledge to keep them supple. I’m sure one of our resident breakers will have a spare if yours has shrunk though.

That’s the query - I don’t know how to remove or reinstall and was hoping someone had a guide somewhere on how to do it.

Just have a thorough look I’m sure from memory that there’s no retaining screws, just fits into a groove. I think there might be some double sided 3m tape involved that secures it in place.
Just out of curiosity are your A pillar bugs intact as if the glue that holds them in place as let go the bungs may well not at least sitting flush with the seal. Search A pillar bung. Some pics would really help to assist.

Not the greatest and this is after adjustment so the gap is much smaller, but I worry perhaps the roof is a little too tight to get it like that, hence wanting just to move the rubber along a bit if it’s possible.
