Yes, those were worthwhile changes. Larger 1/4 window buttons, and that
rear sealing rubber.
I bought these at a CAT meet, as well as replacements for the
side-window Plexiglas (which does craze). The larger surface area of
the new buttons stopped that.
The rear rubber one-piece change fixed a lot of things. The rubber had a
sealed outer surface, and was foamed inside, fitted the original holding
grooves.
Since it was one-piece foam under compression , there were no flaps
sitting on paint to abrade the finish, and flexibility to absorb
movement (so it does not show any rub scars from moving rubber.)
I really don't know if these were factory changes for models later than
Mk I.
A real bargain that actually works.
