65 Vertical 1/4 window seals
Does anyone know if these are supposed to have the steel inserts?
Just got a pair from OPG and they do not, even though their web site says under ther picture that they do an in the description that they don't.
A guy there I originally spoke to also gave me the wrong information. He said they had inserts because I was trying get them into a smaller box to save freight and he said they had to go in a bigger box because they were 15" long and could not be bent.

G'Day, Mate!
On my 65, the rubber slides into a chrome plated piece which is glued to the forward edge of the rear window. The chrome is visible from both outside and inside the car.

These will fit fine like you say but with my 71 there were two types, some have steel reinforcing in the rubber to make them more regid so the door glass doesn't push them in so easily.

Just one more example of OPGI's not knowing their product.
