This should be interesting to some needing this rare to find seal.
Ebay item # 300072947535 Old 914 windshield top seal rubber, the one that is unobtainable I have heard. This one is used and was pulled from a 73 so it says. Cracks and holes in it too. I have no connection to this item other than seeing what it fetches. Any guesses? Just posting because others wanting one of those may not have seen. TCB. Cooley |

Appears to be a very good used seal. And No Reserve.
Curious to see where this one goes. CCLIN160076328968 |

I'm sure glad mine is in great shape, I wouldn't want to try and hunt one down now. Pay through the a** for one of those.

I'm sure glad mine is in great shape, I wouldn't want to try and hunt one down now. Pay through the a** for one of those. I have an ulterior motive since I own a seal better than that one seen on Ebay. Mine is new, (never used) and the rubber across the top of the seal apparently has the metal embedded inside it for hidden strength as I was told some better ones had. A hand held magnet will cause the seal to swing toward magnet is how I know and I had someone interested but found out my delivery method wasn't going to pan out for me like I wanted and I let the connection fade. Does anyone really know what my windshield top rubber seal is worth? I really would like to know so here I am, not asking for or taking offers, but trying to find what that seal is actually worth. edited later: But I am going to sell it when I know what is fair to both the buyer and me. |

I sold a used one on Ebay that looked a little worse than that and got $267.00 for it. The guy that bought it sent me an e-mail saying how happy he was to get it.

Mike - Dude, I have been paying attention too (but I will hold on to my good one for my car). Your primo used seal is worth someone comming over to your house and getting your engine running - or swapping in a good 1.7. Either task is in the $200-$300 range. Of course, the labor charge is going to make this mean you better grill a mean BBQ to cover labor charges (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
I can see it now "Want to Trade: windshield/targa seal for running 914" Ya never know, it might work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

There I am sure will be an aftermarket supply of these windshield top seals any week and certainly before we all get our cars out for the spring!

It is new. It came from AA in December 2000 and has been kept in a closet in my bedroom. It is the better seal according to an expert source description given to me I can't name but who knows that AA had some of those metal inserted ones as well as the reproductions on their shelves and bins back in 2000. I was offered $500.00 for it but got stymied on the delivery method. I had planned on a real time, in person delivery, to assure money in hand and rubber seals were a bona fide, handshaking, done deal. History lesson. I didn't pay a cent for it. My box of rubbers was a gift to me that I never have used and I wasn't planning on a sexual reaming to anyone wanting them but your idea of giving for work done to get it running is hilarious but heck, why not if someone really needs it. Trade for a running 914? Better. LOL Seeing the Dr. 914 reply following yours says that some type of these windshield top rubber seals will be on the market by Spring so I might do something dumb and keep them in the closet. I will never use them. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Here is my guess as to how much that seal will go for: Exactly the amount some fool is willing to spend on it. Seriously, it'll probably go over $250.00 |

Seriously, it'll probably go over $250.00 I hear that although there is proof that they are well into development, the knucks who are doing it keep putting off the completion date! They made a similar seal several years ago, but without the steel insert across the roof line. I also hear that the price is to be 199.50 or so they say, AND that the seal is to be again the original factory length rather than the too short last of the factory versions. We will see. "the proof is in the pudding" (if they EVER serve it!!!) |

That piece commands some rediculous prices.
I guess I lucked out when I found a good seal on a 914 in a bone yard here in Allentown - free. I have one at home where the center of the seal which goes under the targa roof is ripped about 4 inches and the rest is ok. Is this worth anything? Spoke |

Wow, I too have a brand new, unopened windshield seal, along with a complete set of seals... I'm in the process of refreshing the car I bought last year and I'm planning to use the seal, but, if I was to sell it..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
