I'm trying to work out how to put my sunroof back together but as i didn't take it apart it's proving to be difficult. I've bought the seals 1, 2, and 3 in the picture below but don't know where they fit and how they fit.

I've looked through my Bentley manual and have the sunroof operating correctly and just have to stop the rain coming in with these seals now.

I went out to see if i could take a guess at where everything goes but just to be sure i've taken some photo's. Can anyone tell me if these felt seals are in the right place?

Should the front felt seal ride around this edge?

...and is the rear felt seal supposed to stick to the back of the sliding roof here?

Has anyone got any photo's or diagrams to show exactly where they fit?

I'm actually trying to sort this mess out as well. I think Supers and Standards are different, so be careful.

Here's a discussion on it from a few years ago...

here are a couple of pictures from my 73 super beetle...as far as I know it's OG, but I could be wrong and the PO may have installed it incorrectly, but it works and seals out the rain:
