Is the MacGregors seal a single closed loop or do you glue it together to make it a complete unit? IIRC whe it first cam e out they had used the correct profile but it was a single long extrusion.
Is it now one with molded corners and a single piece?
I want to do the screen frame and seal in the near future and was looking to get one of their seals.

My car had the later series seal when I got it. It fit, but it wasnt the same, it was a little bigger and didn't fit perfectly. I believe the only place that has the correct early series seals are mac gregor, at least about 2 years ago when I bought it they were the only ones. It came in a straight piece, you have to cut it and glue it together. When you do that, pull it as tight as possible or it will make it VERY hard to install. I ended up cutting it and re gluing it 3-4 times to get it tight enough so the frame would all go back together. I emailed him about the early series hardtop rear window seal a few weeks ago to see if he happens to make the right one for that, but still haven't received an answer.

Super glue worked well for me and has held up. Make your cut straight and clean .as possible

Good info guys,
What concerns me is that the radius of where the seal goes around the 4 corners of the screen that it will bow and lift a little from either the screen or the frame. I assume you have used a silicone sealant between the screen and the rubber anf the frame and the rubber.. has anyone had one in for a while, how is it holding up around the corners?

recvd my news Taiwan windscreen from Victoria British . One minor edge chip that I can live with as the rubber seal will cover it. I never buy rubber parts from VB as Ive always recvd poor quality rubber from them. I had some windscreen seals made a few years back from Martin MacGregor and I bought a extra .Great product. Not sure if he still has them available. Not sure where Rick @ SS gets his but you can always depend on quality products from Rick.
