Yes the outer scraper on the late cars were superseded with the 911 profile.
Yes it's a more robust profile, but it also grips the glass more. This is even more true when it's new.

So some have lubricated them, others have baked them both with some success, but the real problem is it was never really designed for the application.

So you all know me I can't just leave something alone. we made a significant improvement to the product.


See the seal that is like OEM below.

Here's the solution.
We've added a strip of fuzzey to the scraper edge. Allowing the window to slide easily on the new "buffer"
These will be $7 each side retail in the future, but we are starting a GB for $9.99 a set.

SO who can use a set?

Do they also work on early cars? Or if not, are there scrapers for the early cars at 914rubber?

I'm in for a set.

Just replaced most of the seals on my 914 and was disappointed in these seals.
The window wants to bind and I figure the regulator will fail soon.

Don't forget about the 'U' guide in the vertical channels. F&R. Unless you've replaced them, figure they're 40 years old. Replace those shoddy end caps while doing the squeegees. All part of the system.

You are correct. I will put together special pricing for those that replace their scraper seals (and will put the other on sale too. May take me a day or two to get the listings up, but will make a nice set. Heck I'll even throw in a version to get the inner fuzzey too. You know, while you are there..........

I think the channel guides would be a big seller. I did mine years ago. Made a huge dif. Why take the door cards off repeatedly? Once and done. Make your own vapor barriers out of 6mil plastic and stick them on with double sided tape.
