Saw this auction

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsche-914...1QQcmdZViewItem

Is the seller a member?

Anyone buy one, if so R U happy?

Mine is wasted, and Pelican lists OEM for $447 or something silly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

The kid makes a decent seal yes but not exactly as original. there are several inexpensive repros out there for the 914 563 077 11 which are much more accurate and around the same price. New ones are 375.00 these days.

$50? I thought there were a few members that were making these for less out of garage door seal material.

Anyone remember the "Sammy seal"?

there were several making these and we looked at them all to consider buying them and listing as a cheap alternative to the original factory seal (my continued belief not to duplicate something for the 914 that another is already making and selling for a fair price) but none were close enough to the factory seal to be acceptable.

Yup, I've got one on the red car, and a second in the box for use on the 2 piece car.

Yep, Kerry is a great guy , and has a great product. I have 2 ,one for the top i sanded smooth and one for the regular top.
When installed according to the directions,and latches adjusted correctly, fit was perfect for me. Nice to drive any speed and little if any wind noise. Do not be afraid to buy his product. Dave (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)
