Front and rear window seals

[lexatola]

Hello Everyone,

Which front and rear window seals are the best in terms of look and fit?

Would love to learn from other's experience,

Best,

Alex

Genuine Porsche,,,hands down!!

Everyone else agree? They are sooo much more expensive - but if they have a notably better fit and look then so be it.

Best,

Alex

Factory.........fresh and soft....not some Ebay shelf left overs that have turned to stone.

Don't scrimp there...or go ahead! You'll find out.

Okay - great input. Now who's the cheapest source?

Thanks as always,

Alex

I attempted to use the cheap ones in a friends car (at his wish)... They were horrible.

Go genuines call Porsche.

Try Sunset Porsche, they have always had great dealer prices, also Pelican would be selling Porsche OEM, and you would probably get free shipping from them.
Compare those two.

Agree with Sunset and Pelican as sure bet for source, but so with many vendors and middlemen it's hard to know what's really original and what will actually work when you go to install the glass. I was trying to find a way to distinguish the real deal and think it may be in the thickness of the seal's cross section (measured before installation). For the rear windshield seal anyway I measured the cross section of a good seal at 34-35 mm. Maybe we could get measurements from others of known original seals (ones we know fit without falling in at the corners) and ones that don't fit so well.
