:? One piece or off the roll cut to size?

:idea: I guess if a pro does it, it shouldn't leak at all!

:?: Whos windscreen doesn't leak?

I can't see a pro reason for an off-the-roll rubber if single piece rubbers are available for the same money, but I have a single up front and a cut down at the rear and neither leak...

Would think the single piece would look better. Mine comes from a roll, and yes it does leak (when parked in the open).
I assume it always came in a roll; but if I can get it as one piece, i'd go for that instead.

The `one piece' rubbers are made the same way (off a roll) then cut to length by the supplier and the ends glued.
I find they fit better in the corners, as by the time you fit them they are nearly the right shape.

But I have had rear 1 piece Mk1 rubbers that were cut too long, no way would they fit.
