fatbuick Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 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.http://www.mako.com.au/buick/IMG_9319_Med.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim65Riv Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The all rubber seal slides right into the chrome piece on the leading edge of the quarter window.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Just one more example of OPGI's not knowing their product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
