Just a quick question, what did you guys do about the corners of the header when fitting Jamies seals?

Have a look at Jamie's post for the original one piece header seal might help, I now have Jamie's car so could take more pictures if needed but not at this moment.

It looks to me that the carrier is too high on the A pillar too. Easy to sort as I plan to take it off anyhow to repaint.

From memory Jamie's one piece header seal (or at least the one on my car includes the seal above the windscreen that the hood closes on and the two falling pillar seals in one piece, I know on mine Jamie used a different falling pillar seal finisher.

Worked it out, with a little help that the carrier is too high by about 6mm!!!

Time to drill out the rusty screws & reposition.

Gives me a good excuse to repaint the carriers.
