Default Outer Door Window Scraper Seals - Available

I have a batch of 30 sets of "aftermarket" outer door window scraper seals arriving from Europe.
They are priced at $189.95 for a set of 2.
Porsche originals are over $200 each. So $400 for the pair.
YouTube video on how to fit them is available. Yes they can be a PITA to fit just like the Porsche originals.

First come first served - emails only to Roger@928srus.com

Roger:

I've got three clients with "aftermarket" outer window scrapers, which are complete trash. Every single one "pops" out of the channel each and every time you roll the window down and back up. They are terrible:
Whoever made them/sold them could have "given" them away and they would have been a bad deal!

Have you fitted these? Are they better than the previously aftermarket ones that were available?

If so, I'll take 4 pairs. If they "pop" out of their channel, I'll pass.

Thanks Greg,
There were a lot for sale a long time ago on eBay for cheap - never did try them.
I have sold over 500 sets with zero issues over the last 10 years. Have them on all my cars with zero issues.
They are identical to the factory seal except for the added molded end piece. The end curves up easily to look identical to the factory seal.
Theo in the Netherlands sells them as well and he has no issues either.
I feel confident peeps would tell me if there was a problem with my seals and I would of course listen and take the appropriate action.
Just like the factory seals, they are hard to put on, but once on they do not come off.
Roger

I purchased a set of these years ago from Roger. Yes, they are a pita to install and require you to pay attention to fitting the curved ends. They have held up well and never come loose from the track. As I recall, KY lubricant worked perfect for sliding in the track. LOL

I also got a pair of Roger's aftermarket seals in about 2015. No issue with them moving after install. Used what Stan very often recommends to keep them nice and soft- Dow 111

Agree with the above, had mine in since Roger started to sell them, they have never moved and look great even after sitting outside since they were installed.

I did mine years ago, and found that a 3/8(10mm) smooth rounded tool (small screwdriver handle) at the right angle (45d to the car's line, 45d up) made it easy to persuade the rubber into the groove. Lubrication is essential! IIRC there are two versions of this rubber, but PET doesnt seem to show a change.

These are aftermarket as it states above - not factory.
I also have the factory seals in stock - left & right
