I need to replace my perished 56 Standard rubbers all around (excluding door seals). Money is no object, who makes the best quality? I don't want to see lifted corners and poor fit! Thank you for thoughts guys

Subbing.

I've used 'good german' rubbers before and had a heap of lift in the corners, all the WCM seals I've used have been pretty good.

I haven bought any lately, but a few yrs back they were said to be good as well as Wolfburg west, but that was a few yrs back...I to am in the market for some more.
A few years back I bought German since then that person has stopped due to shipping and customs...stuff was da bomb.
Do not buy cheap shit..
Cheers Thomas

Yes I used them very happy with the fit and quality.

Only issue I was that the rear window seal was too big and had to trim about a inch off to fit.

Don't think he's still in biz, but I know a shop that carry a couple bits still in stock. Think the price pushed people away into buying the cheap shit so I'm happy to snap it up at full price knowing I'm not gunna have any troubles and get a good life out of em.
