I tried a piece of his rear trunk seal and it's too tall. Very little clearance in there. By not gluing I take the seal out after a rain to dry the channel. It does seal good.

Mark , if you can cut it to the correct length for the front to go all the way around, i'd like to get that from you . it would be just like the one i got from you that is in there rear trunk. PM me if you have time. if it works good on the rear, why not the front? that way the channels can drain the rain, not trap it and still keep the trunk dry. I am just not sure which height is needed, the OEM or yours. Seems like there is not much of a difference and the taller would still work better. Phil |
