>bill and steve's sells type 3 brazilian door seals for $19.99 each.
This is news to me! I was unaware that there were any Brazilian parts for
the Typ 3. Learn something everyday.
I installed a pair of German door seals last fall after the originals
lasted 30 years. At first glance, I too thought that these OEM
replacements were too long, but actually, they are not, nor IMHO, could
they be; they should not be any different than the originals. With some
work, you can get them to fit right. The same goes with the original front
and rear hood seals that I bought.
FWIW, at 20 bones each, you can replace Brazilian seals on an annual basis
if they fall apart. For better peace of mind, you can install OEM seals
and not worry about them again. They are made to last. The seal is great
once they have been properly installed - which means that you have to open
a wing window to get the door closed all of the way.
Just my E0.02 worth (that's Euros, in case someone wondered).
