I'd probably remember this if I was a notch person, but I'm pretty 
solidly in the squareback camp. Why on earth didn't they just give 
the fasty its own number when they introduced it?

The door weatherstrips have separately molded corners, but the window 
moldings don't. I've always wondered how they managed the corners, 
but perhaps it's possible to do something with them when the 
extrusions are fresh. Some of the window gaskets seem to come with 
corners already formed, but some don't. I'd guess that the OG parts 
came with preformed corners, so that those parts were not 
overstressed when installed.
