As far as I know, unless you can find someone that's got some NOS door rubber squirrelled away, WCM is about the only US source. I suppose you could find some wrecks, take the rubber off them and piece together a whole door's worth, I'd like to know of some good cement to do that. Have a couple of hood seals that are half good, half bad. Regular weatherstrip cement isn't good enough, I tried. Hatch and hood seals have spotty availability,and prices to match the door rubber. At one time I priced the whole WCM kit, was well over $600 US. So we're all kind of stuck until someone makes repros. Unfortunately the VW OEM rubber seems to be really sensitive to ozone and sunlight deterioration, I have a hatch seal that's really badly cracked, put it on new not more that 3 years back(WCM).
