[W126 Coupe] To glue, or not to glue ?

[Sharan Bains]

As I said before, you locate the part number on the new seal - that part of 
the seal should sit at the center of the rear, just under the trunk button, 
and the part number facing outwards. The seal is then in the correct place 
and the correct way round.
