body and interior Windshield gasket identification

[bmwmalcolm]

I removed the windshield from my 71 2002 a while ago, (Jimmy Carter was the prez) and ordered a new windshield gasket during the Regan administration. Well actually I guess I ordered 2. My question is how do I tell if this (pic 2) is the poorly rated Uro gasket or the BMW one. The one still in its bag is clearly OEM, but I don't know how to ID the other one. There are no markings that I can find on it but I recall that the Uro brand has a different shape (missing extra rubber flap on the lower, dashboard edge??)

Having a windshield installer come to the house on Friday to help with the install and want to use the good gasket. The car was painted in '82 so I hope it is properly cured by now.

Shouldn't that say "made in WEST Germany" if Ronnie was still the chimp in charge?

I think at this point, let the installer see what works.  The URO problem started after I began

working on 2002's, and that was under the first Clinton administration.  

 

The flap was for the early dash, and the later 1- piece got the flapless one, I vaguely recall from a ShrubII era discussion...

 

Are they both still supple?

the flap on my '76's seal is not so supple

(possibly Gerald Ford vintage)

...not pertinent, but I do like show'n'tell.
