This 964 seal has a extra flap that doesnt seem to make sence. As the rope is pulled nothing makes contact with this little flap

I have heard that 964 rubber will work on the earlier cars to get rid of the alloy trim.

I tried the 964 window rubber in an SC and it did not work. after installed it was entirely too loose to work. I ended up having to purchase the OE unit with the groove for the trim. YRMV, but it was a non starter for my effort.

Gotta use the 964 windshield with that seal. It's larger.

Yep I had a '78SC in my garage for a while, storing it for a friend while he moved. The 964 seal and glass (with a nice greenish upper area to block the sun) was a nice fit.

Are you saying a 964 windshield and seal fits G-series as "a nice fit"? Thank you -

Yes that's what I saw on the '78SC. Unfortunately none of the pictures I took of the car were very good.

But you can see in this picture the seal has no aluminum trim. Don't let the shape of the seal fool you into thinking the seal has the trim installed. The 964 rubber is molded to look like it has the trim
