Will This seal you sent looks really good with the soft corners but it is still to narrow by 1-1/4" I dont know why. I have not modified the Dplated and when I turn the hatch upside down the sides almost have no surface sealing area because it is so narrow. Front to back fit perfect but side to side no way. All I wanted was a quality seal that fits and I feel the quality is there but mine needs to be 1-1/4" wider. Please help me here Will.
Don
Don,
Try flipping the seal around. Front to back. Mine was mis-labeled front vs back and my first attempt to fit it left me saying As soon as I turned it around, it slipped right on.
Read the articles on your seal: 1) I have an 1986 GT -- Do you have any stock left that will fit my car? 2) I read in the articles that you were charging $95 + $15 is that still good or has it changed?? 3) If the price is still good and you still have stock -- will you accept paypal??
My seals fit all GT fastback cars with factory deck lid 86-88. The price is $95USD + $15 USD to U.S. destinations. each seal is built to order and my next run will start on Apr 20. PM me your PayPal address and I will send an invoice.

I have Will's seals... best investment I ever made for my Widow....you wont be disappointed he has them listed at a really low price he should sell these for at least $150.
My next run of Gen IV seals will begin on Sat and I will be shipping early next week.

A few months ago I began production of my Gen IV seal with reenforced bonded corners. Apparently I didn't make this change clear enough as many of your are under the impression that the Gen I and II and Gen IV are the same product. They are not.
Gen I corners were simply bonded using recommended (by a chemist at 3M no less) 3M Heavy Duty Weatherstrip adhesive. Initially it gave a good bond but once the car was left in the sun, the trunk temp would soar to 120+ degrees and the adhesive would let go.
Gen II corners were bonded using rubberized IC adhesive made for the aircraft industly. The miter joint was then coated with 3M HD WSA over the top. Stronger joint but very ugly.
Gen III corners were solid molded EPDM rubber. Each corner molding cost me $5 if I bought them 500 pcs. at a time and they still had to be bored and the trunk edge grove cut by hand. This added 2 hours in fab time for each seal and $20+, so when I ran out I wasn't about to re-up for 500 more. About half a dozen customers had trouble with the molded corners been too "firm".
Gen IV corners have a reenforcing mesh inside the air channel for strength and a Nitrile bonding strip over the miter joint. BTW, the strip is the same width as the molded corners of the factory seal. While I never intended this to be an exact reproduction seal (which as it turns out was pretty good for the time, I think the Gen IV looks better. Although mostly cosmetic, the bonding strip on the Gen IV does prevent the miter join from separating if the seal has to be removed for service your car.
I have not posted pictures of the Gen IV seal nor video but I will do so next weekend when I get back home.

P.S. Mark W. your seal will ship tomorrow.

Any chance of a discount for people who bought a previous seal? Now that its summer I have started washing my car again and now noticed that my seal no longer seals at the corners (bought in 2011). I will eventually need two. One for my daily and another for the gt my gf is restoring.

My next run of seals is scheduled for the week of Aug 4 as I build them once a month. I build seals to order and do not keep inventory on hand as I have so little free time to work on them. (I can only hope the travel will end SOON!!!) I can also combine shipping with front hood latch seals and sunroof hold down gaskets.
PM me your PayPal address and I will send you an invoice.

Will, my 2 trunk seals arrived in the Netherlands. They look fantastic. Thanks again for putting the gauge plate into the box that i ordered somewhere else. I will see if the next time i can order 20 at the time. Thumbs up for you.
I started a new run of seals today. Vince, John , Jared and Don, your seals are done and will ship Monday. I am home this week so if you want a seal built, drop me a PM with your PayPal address and I will send you an invoice.
Jonathan, your seal does not need any kind of adhesive, as a matter of fact once it's on the trunk lip it is kind of hard to pull off. I think I sent an instruction sheet in the box with your seal. If not I can email a PDF.

I must be missing something! I have been on the "LIST" since Oct. Than I got your PM said you "Forgot" me! Said you were going out of town and would be back next week, we would connect on Tuesday. That was Nov. 25th 2013.
Looks like you have made it back!
If it was payment that would not be problem..... this was not the issue.
WHAT IT IS?
I need 2 but I will definitely find another source. I thought this would be a win, win. We BOTH live in KC. How wrong I was!
As many of you know the past 2 months have taken quite a toll on my family with my father's decline and now my mother's failing health. My father went into the hospital in the final stages of Parkinson's immediately after Thanksgiving leaving my mother with no way to visit him as she no longer drives. Where I traveled nearly every week until the week of Christmas, what little time I had set aside to work on a new run of seals was taken with family issues. My oldest son was married the weekend between Christmas and New Year's day and following that I have been shuttling my mother to and from the hospital and bringing meals when i am in town. My father has now been moved to hospice and will likely pass in a short time, this however has taken a huge toll on my mother's health and I suspect she will not last much longer that my father. A bittersweet pill as I do not want to see either of them suffer but I am relieved to some extent that this will come to an end sooner than later.
I am sorry I haven't been on the forum to convey the situation however, I just didn't feel it was appropriate to air this kind of personal stuff. This has been a long time coming and even with the foreknowledge of my father's health issues the amount of time I travel combined with the guilt laid on my by my brothers for not being around has overridden my production for the last 2 months.
I am working on seals today to build inventory and will have a dozen or so available starting this afternoon. The one order I have, which i receive last week, will be shipped today and nealreno you have every right to feel neglected as I have failed to keep you informed. I have 2 seals set aside for you if you are still needing them and can run them up to you any time this week.
My deepest thanks for the many, many well wishes those of you posted on FB, I know my folk's very much appreciate your good thoughts.
Pax,
Will

I'm sorry to hear about your parents. It's something we all know will happen, but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with.
My mother passed in 2012 to cancer. It was ~6 weeks between diagnosis and her death. I'd be thankful if I'd had as much warning as you do.
Will, I too am sorry for your loss, as much as we know in the back of our minds that the day will come I can't imagine having it happen in a time as short as 6 weeks. I have a mixed blessing, in one way being able to spend what little time my father has easing his pain and on the other hand watching him lose his ability to stand, speak and eventually even feed himself. Watching my mother's sorrow is even tougher, they have only spent 10 days apart in 58+ years. Thanks for the condolences.

My father passed away yesterday and I am going to put seals on hold for a few days. I have one order that I have not shipped out and I am not sure I will be able to attend to it for until my next run in 2 weeks. Thank you for your patience.

Sorry to hear your loss. My best goes out to you and your family.
Vince, Jim and Tedd, thank you so much for the kind words. My mother is having a rough go right now as my parents were only apart 10 days out of their entire 58 years of marriage. Saturday will be tough for the family but at least dad is no longer suffering.
All orders have been shipped, my next run of seals will be this weekend
