The size difference is obvious, but it was the closest fit from the manufacturers list of stocked parts.
I installed two of the new springs on one flipper and while the mechanism does operate, the spring action is noticeably weaker and I doubt they would hold the seal against the glass tight enough to prevent wind and water from passing through.
I guess it's time to come up with a plan B, but parts to match the OEM dimensions would be a special order, and the manufacturer's sales rep stated that they were not insured to make springs that will be used on autos. Yet another example of our overly-litigious society's good intentions and pathetic common sense.
