OK last night I had the first phone conversation with the potential manufacturer of the headlight seals. First off I learned that he makes all his own molds/tooling in house so that drastically decreases the price ( good thing ). Second in his opinion the reason the OEM seals turn to mush is he believes whoever is making the seals only partially cures the rubber because after partial cure the insertion of the plastic pieces takes place. In his opinion the partial cure is the problem and the heat from being in the sun turns the rubber to mush. Third and most interesting to me is the cost of the seals we talked about. I'm not ready to disclose yet but we talked " loose numbers " and if he can hit these numbers I think everyone will be very happy
. Sorry for the tease but I don't want to put the cart before the horse. Also talking group buy , volume wholesale pricing etc. so we are moving forward slowly. Not sure when the next update will be but as soon as I hear something you all will know. And just for clarification I have no financial interest in this and I won't be running a group buy, I'm solely interested just to get a set of seals for my own car ! The way I " think " this will go down is once the seals are available I'll discuss with the manufacturer a group buy using his website. Maybe a special code or something so 986forum owners get a discount. I would provide the website link and everyone would be on their own after that. That's pretty much it for now.
