Woohoo. Similar sorts of prices, or yet to be confirmed?

Does anyone know about coupe rear seals? will they be available? Mine is falling apart in chunks and lets water through like its not there at the minute..... I'd rather have a one piece than off the roll.

It would be prudent to stop th ewet with an off the roll fix rather than wait for the firenza rear - you may not have a clean hole to put it in when there is endless on available :goodideasign:

Coupe rear isn't too bad to make from continuous as it doesn't have moulded corners - or mine (which is a DSG re-make from the eighties) doesn't, at least. Estate is more trouble as it has curved mouldings at the bottom corners, though I don't know whether these are essential.

The Coupe rear has moulded corners and that is the problem with the current silicone 'uprated' rubbers from Viva2300. He can get the front made easily enough as the corners are not moulded. The tooling for the corners and bonding processes for the silicone moulding are still what's holding things up on rear screens I believe.

Really? I'll have to try to dig out my old one. The current one in the car doesn't - they're just cut at 45 degrees and bonded.
