IM Speedster glass window seals

I spoke with Henry this week about the new type of glass window seals he is engineering for his Speedsters that eliminates the rubber molding on the windshield posts. The new glass/seal combo will be a retro fit for any of you that have a later IM Speedster with the glass window option.

He'll probably offer it for Convertible "D" IM's, too.

The new setup is a recontoured glass (front curve matches the post/frame contour) with a semi-transparent seal integrally installed on the leading edge; the seal retracts with the glass and is not overly obvious with the window up.

Henry is really amazing; he has used the new seal on cars recently completed and in process but is already looking for ways to improve it...

George:

These are the latest shots I have of the seals. An interesting solution, but these are not semi-transparent.

Bob, I got the impression he might be researching a semi-clear neoprene-rubber seal.

Guys;
I'm in the specialty car weatherstripping business and I think Isent
Henry this product to use / try on this project.We have been using
this seal for years on streetrod cabriolets to seal the door glass
to the front pillar post. works great! Neoprene would be way too
hard a rubber for this application. You would use an e.p.d.m. rubber
which is softer,follow any imperfections in your glass to frame and
give you an excellent water/wind compression seal.I have never seen
clear or semi-clear seals that did't "yellow" in time. We are now
marketing seals in 8 colors for the tuner car market and we have some
concerns on how well the dye will hold up in the long run. The sun
seems the do crazy things to color over time.

Jim...I have a CMC with their version of roll-up windows. I'd like to modify the window/windshield contact area for a little better (less shade tree) installation. Where are your products available.
Thanks...Bill
