I decided to replace the LEFT APRON COVER which is at the bottom of the windscreen on the passangers side (UK MINI RHD R56 MCS) and when I removed the old apron cover. the WINDOW GASKET, LEFT REAR came out with it. I have looked at all the possible ways to fit it back on the car but cannot see where it goes. The RealOEM site shows the parts no3 and no7 at the address below. Can anyone help me please.

Believe it or not, it DOES fit back in the track at the top of the apron. I think your problem is that you are not sliding/snapping the front of it ( the apron) in place first and at the same time. The seal is a fairly loose fit and just presses against the glass. I had mine off when I installed driving lights. It took me a while to figure it out.

 

Thanks for the reply, could you please expand your answer a bit as I don't quite understand what you mean. Which part of the apron is the track & where abouts exactly does the seal fit onto the track. If you could say where abouts on the RealOEM picture you mean that would help. Also maybe, how far from the wiper arm etc. It is probably very easy once you understand what is going on.
