New ISP molded corner window seals

im interested too, my seal we had to trim off one of the ribs partially to get it to sit on the body correctly.

I'll be waiting to see how these install as well. The big thing for me is rubber that seals against the painted surface. My windshield chanel is very clean and painted a year ago. So I know it's smooth. My non-molded seal really shrunk up over this past year pulling away from the body of the car. I hope these have lots of rubber on them.

Looks good. I will be ordering one soon. My wife an I are getting to be pros at installing this windshield. I thought it was just the install that was causing the leak...after several times re-installing and similar results, I just avoid heavy rain if I can. I will give one of these a try.

Got a package from ISP today.

Here's a few shots of the new vs. old seals. The new one has more ribs inside for the seal, and the corners are definitely better. The rubber is also a bit more flexible.

I'll be ordering up the windshield piece. Mine has shrunk up pretty bad over the past year and is pulling away from the body on the corners and now even the top:

I am sure its the type 3 profile. It was mentioned in a thread about type 3 window seals ages ago if I recall right.

KTPhil · Posted: Sat Sep 03, 2011 9:46 am Post subject:

Do these have the thicker Type 3 profile or the smaller Bug profile?

I did call ISP and ordered a front/rear set yesterday (already have the popout seals).

I'm surprised there's no pictures of these yet, or a close up in the ad. If someone doesn't get to it before me I'll take some photos next week.

i had the impression that it was tested over a few years with prototypes etc...?

luckystiff · Posted: Sat Sep 03, 2011 5:54 am Post subject:

as far as fit and quality i think i read that they have been real world testing them for over a year and the whole wait to release them was to see how the testing went. i think the concern may have been not only the initial fit and finish but getting an idea of how they held up to time also. not a bad idea since even ones that fit well initially seem to shrink and leak/crack/etc within a year in most cases...ken....

Wonder if they have the trim to go with them? Eh?
