i have seen that seals protrudes from the hood and lid about 5/7 mm ....

If they aren't being repro'd, it's because it marketed for a very small niche in the hobby. It wouldn't be cost effective to tool up for a production run when only a few people need/will buy them.

Wolfsburg West has the wide seals, they are awesome I hear they are even making window seals with the diagonal slash connecting the ends together, I have seen some in a car and they blow the 90 degree seals away, glad people who know what they are doing are finally repro-ing stuff correctly in the USA and not Taiwan

Here is the link: http://www.wolfsburgwest.com/cart/DetailsList.cfm?ID=113823731 I am afraid they are out of stock right now, according to their website. Might have to give them a call and ask about it.

how much are the seals on your site LIbreriajenny?

$ 35 plus shipping .

these are perfect repros , patterned from the original seal .

it is easy to sell a seal at 7,50 when it is "out of stock" :D

i do sell original bumper blades at $30 ...but they are temporarily out of stock either :roll: .....

do these seals have the lines running the length of the seal,as they were not just a smooth seal like the later rubber seals.steve.

seals are completely smooth , split seals where i took the sample from where from a 1 owner , 100% original car .

seals were rotten on some places , but never molested or replaced in any way

Sun Apr 23, 2006 4:33 am

i have checked the rubber on the car and it is completely original and smooth , I can take a pic of the seals and the completely unmolested seal channel .....

maybe there were 2 kinds of seals ....

Sun Apr 23, 2006 4:37 am

maybe there was,mine has three faint lines in the rubber seal,both front hood and engine compartment.there are a few cracks,but if i could find the same sort f seal i may replace them.
