Speaking of door seals......... I'm fairly new to the list so apologize if this type of thing has been covered. I have a '64 notch and need to start looking for door and deck lid seals. Since I'm finding it difficult to find parts I've wondered about interchangeability between mine and other type 3's. Will door seals from a squareback fit on mine? What about the rubber seals on the front and back lids? Is it possible to get window rubber for type 3's and is this interchangeable?
