Windshield rubber

Greg Hahs · Post by **Greg Hahs** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 8:44 am

I restore Isettas, and have found that the rubber for the windshields
and rear window are nearly a perfect match with the ones on the Honda.
Around $55.00 each including the locking strip.

Greg;
The Isetta seal has a narrow inner lip wich makes it very hard to put into a Honda to the extent that windshields have been broken while trying to put them in. And, the narrow inner lip can let go with a good bump. There are a couple of seals that are close, but have you tried them? After a couple of broken windshields I have gone to making my own.

You must have this seal confused with something else. The Isetta does
not have a narrow inner lip, (I've installed over a hundred) the ones
with those are designed to go onto the glass first and then sat in
the window opening with a cord in the outer channel that pulls
the "NARROW" section around the metal. The Isetta is exactly like the
Honda with a locking strip. It goes into the opening first and the
glass sat into the bottom channel and the rest pulled over the glass
with the curved tool. (real easy) Then the locking strip goes in with
the special locking strip installation tool that can be bought at any
auto parts store. The cross section of the Isetta seal is so close to
the cross section of the Honda that you can't measure the difference
with a set of calipers. These come with a locking strip for right
around $55.00. Come to think of it, I have never seen a locking strip
seal with a narrow inner lip, but that doesn't mean there aren't any.

Isettas-r-us
Werner Schwark he's in Georgia. isettas@... make sure you
ask for the correct length, they are cut short on the Isetta and you
need to make sure you get them longer.

Greg, youre still on the outside looking in. I am talking about the width of the Honda 600 window frame. You have not put one in, I can tell because your measuring without looking at the surface that rides against the frame. The seal your talking about is nerrow on the inner side with inner lip moving downward as you push the seal in. Use your caliper on the honda 600 Sedan or Coupe, sure you can stress the rubber out by streching the thing all to bits.

Greg;
    When was the last time you put an Isetta windshield seal in a Honda 600? My problem with people that insist on making statements they can't back up, causing others to destroy original parts to what end I don't know is really puzzeling. And, what is the $55.00 for the Isetta seal but make sure you purchase more so that you will have enough? So it's not $55.00 for the seal, it's more because the seal for the Iseta rear window is much smaller than a Honda 600 rear window and even smaller yet for the Front windsheild.
    With this kind of lunacy it's a wonder we aren't using Ribbon Sealer from 3M. You can pick up a box for about $40.00 bucks (Part number 08612). Oh by the way, 3M stopped selling it to Just anyone because of the problems they were having with Do-It-yourselfer's.   Trying to make it do things it wasn't designed for.
    Greag, a great idea, but you have to try them out first.

Yesterday!!!!! and the ones for the Isetta are $40.00. Thanks for
being such a nice guy and helping out others. And next time you feel
like insulting someone, why don't you do it it front of a mirror? If
this kicks me off the site for trying to help others in restoring
their Hondas in a cheaper way, so be it.
