Where did you find the Wurth urethane? As I recall, I googled the hell out of it a few months ago, and found nothing.

OK so back to the seal. Has anyone gotten it to seat as expected without some Rube Goldberg work-around?

I fiddled with the new rear seal again this weekend - it simply refuses to stay put in numerous places - nearly identical to Howard's description.

Is there a chance that early '95s used a different part number? My old seal was perfect in comparison...

Andreas, there is a part number that pops up on Sunset's radar for a 94, when looking at early '95's. It has a thicker bulb, by just a hair. I happen to have a brand new one I could send you to try, if you would like.

Ed,
Thank you. I just checked my Sunset invoice and that is the part number I was sent.

The outer seal won't stay down. I am using the xxx 225 02 seal.

thing is, we could not know if rear windscreen is a '94 model or the upgraded model on a car with a changed rear windscreen.
Surely, porsche had a stock of the initial windscreen, and maybe '97 models have '94 windscreens if the windscreen was changed at some time.
I recall several rennlisters here who had their rear windscreen explode by itself some time ago, lots of threads on this.
So maybe if your rail is not holding the seal, you need the other seal, I guess
