• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

RT-L Liner weather strip torn away from liner - any fixes?

Just bought a 2013 RT-L. Great deal in excellent condition, low miles. In the frunk there is a liner that has the BRP logo on it. I cannot tell if this was a factory item or added afterward. Anyway, around the top edge is a U-Channel with a round rubber tube that was glued to it. Just about all of the tube has torn away from the U-Channel. It was a weatherstrip or cushion that touched the underside of the frunk lid. I cannot find anything like a part number of either the original insert, or just the weatherstrip to replace it. I may get some Gorilla glue and try to carefully glue the tube back on to the U-Channel.

Anyone else have this situation? Any other ideas on replacing or repairing this weatherstrip?

That's an OEM part. Neoprene seal. Item number 330.

Yes, an after market seal may be less money.

Hey, thanks for the quick response and information. I can take it from here. Thanks again!!

I had checked Spyder Pops and Lamonster already. Somehow missed this site completely in searches.

I have a 2010 RT SE5 with the OEM liner like that and I have re glued my weather stripping on several occasions. I used Weldwood contact cement and it holds up pretty well.

That frunk weather strip seal on my Spyder gave up the ghost not quite a year ago and I replaced it with one from Spyderpops for $22.95. The best thing about Harvey's replacement is it's just a bit stiffer than the OEM one, so when I turn the key to unlock the frunk the seal serves as a spring and the frunk lid unlatches by itself.
