Been reading through the various posts about 412 panel cups and cups. The gist was that the rubber cups were the hardest of the two to find.
To that end, does anyone have a recommendation as to where I can find both of these products?
As you can see, the clips are clearly for a beetle or bus, not even close in fit for T4:
You can see how they just fall out of the holes:
These are the clips I need, I just cant find them; a link would be really helpful
Thanks in advance.
-Ron

Ray,
Thanks for jumping in. I counted up and I need 70 to complete all of the panels.
Let me know if you have that many, I really appreciate it! This is exciting.

I have 96 of them and only need about 7 or 8 per side on my rear seat cards (I have a two door sedan). All of my front door cards have their clips in place.
Check to see how many you need. The front doors on a wagon should be 23 each...call it 46. The rear seat door cars I am not sure but the wagon has longer cards and its something like 12 each....that should be right at 70?
I probably have a few more here and there in other parts buckets. I will check as I get time.
The seals....really they are "mostly" seals. But they do take up a little space on the steel clips. I could probably mold something. It would have to be urethane because the outer flange is too thin for silicone to not tear easily.
They would not look 100% just like stock....but would function perfectly and never bee seen from the outside.

You are exactly right, I need 70 to cover the front cards, rear cards, plus the inside hatch back cover.
This is really helpful Ray, Thanks again

Ray,
Were you able to dig up any rubber boots also? I need about 20 of them.
