Hi Forum,

I'm restoring a 1986 Cabriolet and my outside window molding is brittle.

Where can I get replacements? I've tried salvage, but I'm in FLA and all I found were the same....

Thanks!

I hope to do the windows on my 87 and 89 Cabriolets soon too. Best source that I have found so far is MK1Autohaus.com, they even make some of the door rubber and body seals that no one else makes anymore.

For a guide to rubber moldings, check out http://www.cabby-info.com/Files/SealPartNumbers.pdf

Please let me know how the purchase and installation goes. Maybe I'll get inspired? Smile

Although expensive, vintagerubber.com is another resource.
