Some years ago we made a spare wheel cover for my 32 Cabriolet. I suspect the process is the same. On the assumption that you are restoring or repainting the seal
just pull it off and with a suitable solvent remove any traces of old rubber and glue.

Yes; I fitted the new "U" section rubber after it was painted. Important to find a glue with doesn't dissolve paint.
