Cool, man, I was wondering about the corners and flex of the material. I'd like to see those photos when you get the chance.

Looks good. I would be worried though that water could seep behind the seal and pool at the bottom causing rust problems & pitting.

Great job dude! I have to say after looking at both sizes on the 2 cars, the narrower of the 2 must be more pliable. Seems to make the corners really well. My thought is to carry it around to the rear window as well. Im going with the smaller diameter for the 3 windows.
Thanks.

This is a great mod , That should have been factory .

This is the one spot that just can't be kept clean , It's always dirty .

On my list of to-do's

That's what I'm thinking. There is a reason why it's not done from the factory.
