	have you done the headliner or does your car have a good original headliner? Just asking cause the headliner has to be done before the rear window instal as it wraps around the window flange to hold it. I looked on Auto Krafters but they only have the formal roof pn#D2OZ-6452084D If Dearborn doesn't have the correct one I have no idea who does How short is is because a formal roof glass is a big difference then a fastback.Did you try laying it in the sunn to soften the rubber to see if it would stretch. My guess is they are gonna be a littel tight and need to be stretched but a formal seal would only go around the top part and sides and then the seal would be cutting off about 8 inches of glass. wish you took photos of it as I could tell wether it just needed stretching or it was actually a formal roof glass seal

	I've ordered two fast back rear window seals for my 72 from Dearborn. Neither fit, both seem like formal roof seals despite having the correct part number and all. Seem way too small and we don't think there is anyway they'd stretch over the window. Anyone else experience this? I've returned the seals for a refund and they're looking into the situation. However, I need to get rolling on the window install so I can finish the car up. What other sources of rear window seals are there? Ron
