I had Ron's seal and a new PPG windshield with tint installed a
couple of years ago.  My previous windshield had the tint strip
at the top and so I got that.  My '81 air-cooled does not and
by comparison, I wanted that strip.

The guy that installed it struggled to get it in and then
commented that it was really tight and would never leak.  There
is no glue or adhesive--not needed with the VW style rubber.

I'd go with Ron's non-chrome seal and a tint-strip windshield
again, for sure.
