Rear Screen Seal Tool – Austin Healey Hardtop

This specialist tool feeds and seats the locking strip when installing the rear screen seal on Austin Healey hardtop backlights. It helps guide the strip smoothly into the channel to reduce snagging and edge damage during assembly.

Fitment & use

Designed for the factory hardtop rear screen seal with locking strip on both 4-seater BN4 & BT7 and 2-seater BN6 & BN7 applications. Use with a mild soapy water solution as lubricant; avoid petroleum or solvent products on acrylic screens and rubber seals.

Why use this tool

• Helps seat the locking strip evenly without nicking the seal or marking the screen.
• Improves consistency compared with improvised tools (e.g. screwdrivers or picks).
• Useful for both installation and removal of old locking strip.

Practical tips

• Work warm so the seal is pliable; keep steady, even tension on the strip.
• Start at the centre of the lower edge and progress towards the corners.
• Do not lever against the acrylic; keep the tool aligned with the channel.
