I've had allot of feedback on these, and have changed the concept slightly with these. This is more of a "repair kit". Most buyers have been taking the stock ends and gluing the old ends to the new seals. I'm also including 8 low profile screws to help with the installation. Any gaps that need to be filled can be caulked with polyurethane caulking.
And, of course you can cut and glue the ends if you want. This comes with 8 low profile screws to help the installation. You can still use these by cutting and filling if you do not have the ends. An excellent alternative to complete new seals, most of the time the ends are in the best shape. Attached image(s) |

[size=3]Got the extrusion run done today. I will be setting up the jig to cut, and I have a guillotine cutter on order (this is required for the miter cut on the top). The ends will be filled with rubber so that the top ends are plugged. The materials I need for that should be ready Friday, and should be able to start shipping monday. I will be updating this as I get more progress.
The seal fits into the channel very nicely. It is tight. You will need soapy water to get it slid in from the top. I'm also working on locating low profile screws like the factory so that if you need them they will be available. The pan head screws take up too much room to let it slide in. You will need to make sure the channel isn't pinched by a previous owner using a screwdriver. You can bend back the channel using a large flat head screwdriver. The outer lip will cover some of the damage on the crome. Thanks to all more pictures coming soon. Attached image(s) |
