Door rubber

[6T5 square]

I can't find the thread that talked about this but my car is in the paint booth and they're telling me they need to remove the door rubber to do a complete job on the doors. Where should I be looking for the replacement part? Thanks guys.

if you aren't concerned with NOS or original style door rubber, try the set the DDB offer -- they work very well and are considerably cheaper than a NOS/German set....

I agree with blankmange on the DDB seals. They're also a heck of a lot less work to install.

Sorry, I forgot about the DDB seals, we are putting them on a 68 Fastback after paint. Sometimes the old brain farts.....

Hey Blankmange! The DDB kit. Is that kit for one door or two? It looks like the better choice. Everybody else sell the Brazilian kits. Thanks

Have any of you actually installed a set in your ride? A "hands on" blow by blow would be nice.

I'll be using the DDB kit. I'll take photos and describe it as I go for whoever might be interested.

I put them on my Fastback. Just remove the factory pinchwelt around the door. The rubber DDB seals are attached to a new pinchwelt, all you do is hammer it closed with a mallet and pinch it on where the old pinchwelt was. They fit along the curves of the door very nicely.

If you want you can use some weatherstrip adhesive, but i found that they stay on nice and tight without it.

They make them with the VW factory machines. But, I´m afraid aren´t cheaps.
