Main Targa seal, Not having any success Options

[Morph914]

I would take installing the air box 5 times, over putting this seal in. I cannot get it to conform at the top where it makes the bend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I have tried heating the rubber in this area to get it to conform to the bend without any luck. The 914 rubber piece is reinforced in the exact location that it needs to make the bend. Not sure what to do at this point. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

You can see where the original piece is bent.

The internal joining block should be about 2-1/2" in I just checked my stock and it conforms.

We had to have some mass in this area to allow for a better seal when the window is closed. Making this seal we had to make many design choices and as the seal evolved over the last 12 years we have continued to improve them. We can angle the internal block some on the next run this may help.

There was a time that these were going for about $900 each. This is the main reason we made them. as we didn't charge $900 we are about $230, we have continued to make investment in this and many other seals to help keep the cost of restoring these seals down. Are they 100% identical to the NOS OEM, NO.

We have made many improvements that others have copied. A prime example is the internal clips. We use stainless or aluminum where the factory originally used plain carbon steel. Anyone remember taking off an old seal and seeing that the seal rusted from the inside out (the clip)? This is now a standard for most manufacturers.

We always stand behind our products. If you are not happy send it back. Purchase price will be refunded.

Hey Mark, thanks for all you do for our small community. I know you're not a Fortune 500 Company and haven't the means to "Hit it out of the Park" with every swing of the bat. Some say your dash has a dimple but I haven't seen it yet. I'm too damned happy with how much better it looks that the 50 yo OEM one it replaced. Same goes for your bumper tops. The little stick out at the corners was easily rectified with a small screw from inside the bumper. Even if I hadn't cleaned up the corners the new bumper top was a HUGE improvement over what I had before. Or how about the new roll bar pad that was non-existent before. I have no problem waiting until the modified latch covers are available. I'm just tickled pink that I'll have 2 new roll bar's to install in the near future. Hang tuff buddy. I think I speak for the majority and John when I say thanks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grouphug.gif)
