So after about an hour of mangeling it, I managed to bend it to look somewhat presentable but in the top corner there is a nice size gap which I filled in with some paint. But it so much better than driving a swimming pool aroung town. It didn't fit as well as it should have but it does its job. Though the rubber was also a not long enough either(off by about a centimeter). As for them being flimsy, they were very flimsy. Duane Burdick '67 Fastback
