I was wondering if any of you have installed one & if so, does it last? Pros/cons?

Get a good one from ronnie and it would last. You do have to glue it in place. New seals will make the door stick out some, as does mine.

I have a $40 seal on my 70. It fit well, it's soft and pliable, and it continues to be that way 8 months later. Plus, if you believe the ad copy, it's USA made. I don't see a reason to dish out the higher $ for a German seal as long as this one is available. My only gripe was the shipping cost, as it would have easily fit in a flat rate envelope and been about half of what was charged through UPS (I think it was UPS).

X2! I scored on one for $50 at an OCTO over 10 years ago and it's still sealing just fine!

I spoke with a couple of people who bought this seal from ISP/Pimpride and they were all very happy. I put this on my Birthday List and with **luck** it may show up in about 2 weeks. I am currently using weather striping and that does not work well at all.
