Where can I buy a barndoor decklid seal/rubber?
Or will I have to buy the seal material by the length so I can make my own? found something very similar.
Is it the same profile as later split bus? and what color should it be on a panelvan? grey? or black?
What is the material its made of called? I have found some suppliers that will sell what looks similar on a roll. just waiting on a sample.
thanks

seems we could be talking about 2 different items?
1) The decklid>body seal
2) The decklid hinge>body seal

Thanks for the heads up Ben (low54), will get some of that for my dash pod.
but yes different rubber seal  I have sourced the foam/rubber seal for the decklid/body but it is black, although it is loads cheaper.
just waiting on the sample.
May end up just doing what EverettB suggested if I cannot get in grey.

Hello, can someone tell me if the seal is just docked or glued to the big door?  |
