have you tried sitting it out in the hot sun
another trick is boil the rubber gasket in water and put it on while its cooling the heat helps form it better from what I heard

I would assume that the quality of windshield seals varies drastically.
Jamie gave me a used one and the ends weren't even formed to match the curvature of the lower w/s frame work.
Where did you get that thing Jamie ? I have not tried to use it but, hmmmm ?

I am now putting parts back on my jeep after painting it. I also purchased one from Walck's. They had 2 different ones. A cheap one and a more expensive one. I bought the more expensive one but haven't put it on yet. Which one did you purchase?
