I put the rubber on my windshield and mounted the windshield on my jeep.

On the fit, the curved ends could be a little better molded to fit better and several other people have told me the same thing, but overall it fit very close.

I would say it is still a good product and the overall fit/ appearance is good.

Some years ago I purchased a new repo rubber WS/cowl seal from a repuitable supplier for my M38.. It is too ...thick...well made but just has nevere fit properly. I am tired of having to abuse the latches to try and get it to latch or unlatch.

WHO... has one that is NICE...and fits properly?

I've not bought one myself, but based on the above posts, it should be pretty good.......
