Here's a shot showing the seal that fits between the windshield and the dash. You'll notice that part of this seal presses up next to where the windshield will sit. This is why the windshield has to removed to install this seal properly.
 I've just set this seal into place. This is the repo that doesn't have the metal imbedded within. I'm going to use some windshield adhesive to glue it into place. You'll also notice that the seal doesn't go all the way to the ends, I'm going to let the seal sit in the sunshine, then apply the adhesive, stretch the seal to met at both ends, then hold in place.  -- Rob |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) Let the vendor know that the seal is too short. I'd expect the seal to shrink back over time, and the vendor won't know they're seal is too short unless someone lets them know. It's constructive criticism, not a complaint per se.

That looks like the wrong seal, it appears to be the rear one. Lower windshield seal is about 15mm. Rear window seal is shaped different and 25mm wide. Picures of new rubber seals. One on the left is the front seal, right is real seal. Shots of different rubber profiles.

Good eye is right. Also, seal is faced wrong direction....flap goes toward dash, not hood ... it would interfere with Butyl tape when applied.

Thanks everyone.... When I bought this car 2 years ago, today acutally, I was given many, many boxes and there was a complete set of seals. I haven't installed this seal yet because it just didn't seem to fit and I was hoping someone would recognize my problem. I'll label this one for the rear window and order a new windshield to dash seal, then repost to keep this one current/correct....
Thanks again guys. you're the best.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) -- Rob |
