Again looking for the impossible. The little rubber seals for the door panel clips are a larger size than the norm. The holes in the doors are 10mm in diameter. Part # 411 857 219 is no longer. BUT, there must be something out there that can work. Anyone have success with this?

I will add a couple of pics to illustrate the problem. I cannot find the larger type 4 seal/cups. Ordered the type1 and 3 cups but they are too small. The holes are also larger in the cups on the type 4. Still looking…

Hi Bill,
Just buy two of everything! I'll be going down that road eventually. Seriously, just let me know what you come up with. I'll try to return the favour if I can find it before you.
Cheers,

Walter,
The problem is I can’t find the larger type 4 cup seals…so there is nothing to buy. My photo was just a comparison of the two types.

So...I have not posted in this thread mainly because its busy right now and also because I really do not have a source for these.
However....I have actually used type 3 seals quite a long time ago on my 411 wagon. The bigger/wider end works fine but they are too short to prevent the type 4 metal clip from ripping the end out......so I cut the tip out of it and put rubber caps over it
No longer have that car....but the caps looked something like this

I also found these. Depending on the total dimension...some of these could work quite well. Keep in mind.....these rubber plugs are mainly seals. As long as the groove in the spring clip snaps into the edge the panel will be held in.
I will have to measure the door card hole and the door hole to see which one of these may work....if any.
