yw, :wink:

Rear lid seal
In the factory a sealant is applied to the rear lid seal, the seal is fitted to the body flange and then rolled on.
Note
t When seals are removed, the sealant will spread to the inside of the seal and the flanks will be bent out slightly. If the seal is then refitted, sealing and firm seating are no longer guaranteed.
t Therefore each seal which is removed completely should be replaced by a so-called “tap-on” seal.
t If a seal has been partially removed, squeeze sides of seal together before installing.

Thanks for your help! Ill look into it, might try and see if anyone is selling one from a written off Polo on Ebay.

Its causing so harm at the moment but when I go to sell.. It will hurt the price.
