The much thicker aftermarket headliner could have been causing issues too. Overall they work well, especially if you are having difficulty with other manufacturers. The Porsche brand rubber seems different than 10 years ago, smaller or something...

Hi everyone, good news - the current estimated restock date for URO Parts wide-lip Windshield Seal 911 541 225 03 is the end of July 2024.



Thanks for the report David, your suggestion is noted!

In my experience every car is a little different and each rubber fits differently. The orientation of the rubber on the glass makes a huge difference when you are trying to fit the trim. I use a thin nylon ish rope (2 mm or so, no too thick) with soapy water in a spray bottle. The windshields often go in low if you are not careful. I like to use little foot long sections on each side to center the windshield before the final pull. I have never used the "Porsche Windshield Glass Spacer - 91454190710 " but I recently purchased some for next time, I hear they help.

Thanks again for your suggestion regarding the inner lip width David, our engineering team has been advised! More width would also help cover the transition line between UV-faded headliner material and the original color that was shielded from sunlight behind the original seal lip. Using thin 2mm rope is also a good idea, it's probably easier to pull through the tight gap between the seal and glass.

Haven't heard about using Windshield Glass Spacer 914 541 907 10 on a 911, could you direct us to a thread(s) about it? We've heard that it's easy to accidentally position the glass too low, so spacing up the glass makes sense. Found two related threads on 914World:

• Windshield install question
• Windshield install, rubber spacers

We know from experience that stuff made in China will get cheapened with lower quality material over time, especially when the Chinese supplier thinks the customer isn't watching. Rubber products are among the worst offenders. Otherwise, keep up the good work.
