Door Frame sealing rubbers

To help clarify - here's a couple of pictures that Peter sent...

One more picture...

Thank you for posting them, no news yet sadly.

Is this the U channel that the glass runs in?

If so, it's 3 pieces and about $8 a piece at the vendors.

No Joules, your thinking of the seal that the glass slides in.

this seal runs along the top of each door, and also down the outside rear of the door frame.

Its obviously not a vital item but without it the job just isn't right somehow.

I have a pair on eBay now. These fit into the door frame along top and side.

I got mine from Hall

Peter: Hall..same here and they fit - tightly..
well 80 USD for a rubber SET for may be 5USD prod. is bloody expensive ..

Matthias

well 80$ on a +100.000$ car? Lets perform a short reality check

We do need to support these vendors so they can cover costs and make a little profit. These aren't high volume cars. Otherwise the vendors won't exist. Then good luck finding your gasket.

Consider these guys. They have the original stuff. I bought the PB ones, they're 1:1 to the original.

Okay, show as $61.94 a side on Wilkinson's catalog. Or spend a day on the internet searching, only to get some cheap Chinese knock off

I have just yesterday evening had a mail from Roland Jaekel in Germany who has the correct items, one piece per side, as original.

Other vendors sell them in 2 piece sections that have to be glued together.

cost Euro 140 for a pair.

Thanks for everyones input, and I must admit that it gets up my nose that parts for cars skyrocket as the value of the car increases.
But each to their own as they say.

Peter, the car is +40 year old. Try to compare prices on spare parts for other +40 year old cars in that category. Parts for a vintage Beetle is probably cheaper I acknowledge.

Peter,
Buy them from Roland that are the only real ones.

Cicognani ask €120,- + taxes + shipping .
And very slow shipping and bad comunication .

For what it's worth, I noticed that Precision Proformance shows them as factory original pair on their website for $149 US. I don't know how that compares with money conversion and shipping.

I must say that The parts that I have bought from Roland, have always been perfect.

Chuck thanks for going the extra mile.

Peter I have bought new ones for my car and I right remember but will have to check the originals were in good shape, you can have these but I will have to find them. I will look tomorrow and give you a call.
And if you need anything else for the car call and check with me before you buy I have lots of bits that may be of use to you.
Richard.

Hello Richard,

I told Raymond yesterday that I wanted to order a pair from him.
This morning I had a reply that they were in the post to me, and then left me details of how to pay him.
I honestly did not think the seal would be the same as the Mangusta. but next time I will get in touch first, best Pete.
