I recently acquired a set of NOS T3 door seals from Type 3 Detectives in UK. (I can't find their e-mail address right now, but it's out there). They weren't cheap (almost US$100 each), but I wanted good replacements for the shredded mess that was on the doors before. In my opinion, the proper fit and performance of the real thing is worth the expense (to a certain point I guess). I bet you would be very unhappy with the result if you tried the $11 fix. All too often you get what you pay for.. -Mark 70 FB -----Original Message----- >On 30 Sep 98, at 22:31, trainwreck wrote: > hey has anybody tried this with door seals. the guy @ the auto parts store > says type 1 seals are the same only a little smaller and at $11 a pop i can > buy 3 for less than half the price of a type 3 seal. > >Jim A. wrote: >I don't know, but I would be willing to bet that "the guy @ the auto >parts store" has no idea what a type 3 door seal looks like.
