doesn't look any different to me. price looks ok. not sure about moulded corners as i have never had problems with the ordinary rubbers. i remember fitting a brazilian windscreen seal to my wagon about 15 years ago and the fit was very good. i'd suggest that if gaps are appearing then the window has not been fitted correctly in the first place. i have fitted many auto glass rubbers around corners with no moulded corners over the years with no problem.

Read this thread FYI.

Its been an on going problem with the repro seals for many years, this is the first time type 3 seals have been made with actual original type 3 seal profile, not bug profile like the ones before.

You need to look a little closer, there is a huge difference in the pics.😉
