Well it's official, completed the drawings and have put deposit on the die. will look for these to be available in 35 days. Cost will be $22 (possibly less if I can get enough people that want these.

These are the one that go right at the base of the windshield. I have designed these to be able to install without taking out the windshield. These will be easier to install and remove than the originals.

Let me know who needs these, I'm starting a list.

The first one has been tested these will ship the 28th or sooner.

Below are pictures of the old seal and the tool we used to remove it. it was quite effective.

I notched the end to mirror the pillar on both ends, making the seal about 1/4" londer than the opening to allow it to compress into the channel.

The problem I ran into was there were some larger beads of caulking for the windshield. I will be taking some more time tomorrow to trim with an exacto knife.

As you can see from the picture the seal has a bulge where the rubber from the windshield interferes with the clearance. I hadn't anticipated there to be this much rubber interfering with the channel. The windshield was installed with a piece of the old seal missing in this area, so it appears that the void allowed the windshield glazing to pool here. The production piece will be made slightly harder to allow it to force it's way into a void if there is windshield rubber in contact with the old seal.

You can also see that my dash "pad" is quite old. I will be replacing it and doing more pictures shortly, I just wanted to check the fit.
