The seals are very long most people with the conventional trunk have to remove quite a bit of material. As far as the glass, I have never had a car to test on so I cannot say yes or no.

Unfortunately, I lost the pictures that I had but I have sold them to quite a few people with really good success.
That's good to know. I will certainly refer you to anyone needing a wagon rear hatch seal.
I'd be glad to volunteer as a test case....:D

Hahaha same here, ill be the guinea pig to try out on a wagon. But just to be clear, it covers the entire rear opening minus the piece that goes on the tailgate that seals to the window?

Unfortunately, the seal that goes across the tailgate cannot be substituted with anything else out there. If you have one that's in somewhat decent condition, I'd advise you to take good care of it and keep it well preserved with a good rubber protectorant. If you're able to find a good NOS rubber piece, you're lucky. I think these things have been NLA for quite a few years.

If you have a picture of the seal that goes across the tailgate and a measurement can you send it to me? I would be interested in seeing if it is something I can reproduce and be cost effective. Our email is [email protected] if you can I appreciate it and if not I understand.

I will get you the measurements and few pics. I'd be happy to help in anyway I can. I happen to have an old seal that's loose.
Is this Rob, btw?

Dixie - I'm just outside of Boston if you need a few hours to check out a wagon for parts and sizes, Maybe one weekend we can plan something.
Hey man, why don't you share some pics of your wagon? We'd love to see some pics.

I'll try to start a thread. I call her Last call, because she looks so much better before the lights come on.
It doesn't look bad in your Avatar. Starting a thread would be cool.
