Hi Sean,
(that's my middle name! same spelling too :-)
Yeah, Kyle gave me a GREAT price, but he always does, doesn't overcharge on
S&H either like some do. I was going to do the windshield deal like you
did, but after I called around it just didn't seem to make sense. Guess I
just got lucky :-) BTW, the company was called Triumph Glass. They have an
800 number so maybe they're national? Here it is: 800/452-7495
Another thing, how was your old seal? Mine was almost like new! In fact,
the installer told me to save it as it was still very pliable, about as
new. He thought it was definetly reusable. I went ahead and used the new
one anyway.
Maybe I'll just paint on that missing vw/Audi symbol ;->
