The insert dresses up the window, but it also locks the outer lip of the rubber against the glass and the body. Old inserts get dull, dent, pull out at the corners or go missing when seals are replaced. Ten meters is enough to trim several windows, so one roll will usually cover a windshield and rear window, or most of the side glass on a Bus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJP Group is a Danish supplier that has specialised in classic Volkswagen and Porsche parts for decades, and EMPI distributes the range in the USA.
