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) |

Thanks guys. The die is still in production. This is a very complicated shape with the extra little lip. I should have the first article in about 18 days, and product will follow shortly. I'll post pictures when I get the first article.
Thanks to all UPDATE- Did a short run on the new die and tried fit. I will need to tweek the die a little more. The compression of the small fin was not quite correct. I need to cut the angle down about 15 degrees and relieve some of the inside of the internal cavity to make it more pliable. Sorry to keep you waiting but estimate is about 14 days for re-tooling. This is the most complex die I've done to date, and I want to have it dialed in 100%. I could probably extrude the die I have but it pushed on the window too hard at the top that it was about 1/8" out . A minor detail, but not acceptable in my opinion. I'll keep everyone posted. Thanks for your patience |
