in referance to the rear fender seal that goes on the wheel arch. i have a protruded seal that pinches on the lip like the original. i had to purchase 50 feet of it to do my squareback at 4.00 per foot. if you are interested in the seal let me know you can email me at strtbug@ibm.net the seal works great and when you look under the fender there is a perfect seal from front to rear. the upper seal near the vents i used a dense foam that i cut into 1 inch by 1 inch strips and slit to fit over the metal lip to form a air seal. works and not seen. c-ya and good luck. btw i think i used 12 feet total to do both fenders.
