face=Arial>The newest WCM seal was 4 years old, that I got back in late 2007.
It didn't get installed until November of last year (it had been sitting in
the trunk). My ISP seals were purchased in the early fall of 2007, and
while the rear window of the Notch installed easy, you could see by the etched
in dirt lines (used glass) it was short. The same applied to the
stationary side glass, but that was later (in 08) replaced with a set of pop
outs. The windshield seal was about 4 inches too long, and was loose on the
glass. It would never seal unless you used 3 tubes of 3M window weld. :O It
was that far off. At the time, everyone thought it was because I had clipped
thru the windshield posts, but 2 days later, I had the WCM seal and glass in,
with no leaks, or the need for any urethane (it wasn't what I had done, it was
the seal that was off). </FONT></DIV>

face=Arial>My wife's car got the WCM seals installed in 1991, while my 65
Notch got them in 2000 (except the rear window, which came from Bill and
Steve's, which started cracking in the corners in 6 months). That
seal will probably get replaced this year. It's not leaking, but it looks like
crap. My old 70 Square got WCM seals back in 97, and they still looked good
the last time I saw it (in 2011). That car is parked outside in the Texas sun.
:O Note, ALL of the seals I used were Cal Look. I never tried the "grooved" or
American style seal, so I can't comment on the quality of them. I do know that
WCM makes a very good Cal Look seal, that lasts a long time.</DIV>
