Some interesting stuff there, but the problem with Extrusions is the other work needing done to it to make it into a seal for the Elan would still be massive, i have a huge pile of rubbers which in effect are extrusions and line up great with the glass itself , but making end sections and backings and all the curves is where the tough work comes to in to play, the header seal for example is not just a single shaped bit rubber stretching around the roof, the side parts of it are extremely difficult to make right, so a single extrusion that is just the same shape from one end to the other wouldnt work on any of our seals, apart from possibly the intermediate but it would still need a lot of work to make it a seal that worked unfortunately. Definitely worth giving it a try but you still have lot of work to do with it.
