Get some '3M General Purpose Adhesive Remover Cleaner' #08984. It cannot be sold in California so you know it's good stuff.<br>

I know that this is a very old thread but with photos now being available I have an opportunity to clear up this question.<br>
Despite the doubts expressed by many BN1s prior to body #4129 did have sealing strips in the boot lid channel in the rear shroud.<br>
According to the parts book these seals were used in addition to the seal on the lid but I have been unable to confirm definitively if the seals were in fact used together.<br>
The photos below are of the seal in a very low mileage very early 100 provided courtesy of David Kerry.<br>

All 100s, 100/6s and 3000s had the boot lid seals installed on the boot lid, not in the channel of the rear shroud.<br>
So there is no exception, even not for early 100s.<br>

Over the years I have noted that many 100's had the boot lid seal installed<br>
in the channel in the rear shroud rather than on the boot lid as it always<br>
was on the 6 cylinder cars.<br>
I had always considered that this was a 'restorer's error" but I have<br>
photographs of earlier cars showing the seal positioned in the shroud<br>
channel although, I also have photographs of a very original BN2 which<br>
clearly shows that the seal is on the lid.<br>
I also have a couple of rough but original early 100 boot lids that show no<br>
evidence of adhesive in the corner of their flanges. Contact cement is very<br>
difficult to remove and is usually just painted over leaving evidence of<br>
its presence.<br>
Anyone out there with an early BN1 which they are sure has never been "got<br>
at" that could confirm this for me beforeIi glue the seal onto #174.<br>
