Re:Seat Guide Rails

[jesse and monica <jjmojo@blazenet.net>]

I have to wonder the same things Jim. I bought a type 3 air intake
bellow from ISP and it was said to be NOS but when i got it i compared
it to the original one on my car and found the quality, as well as the
fit not even close to the original.
The vw part number was on the bellow as well as the vw logo but the part
number was not a clean mold. It seemed as though this bellow was made
from a mold of the original. I don't know for sure but when i see NOS i
expect the quality to be the same as the original hence the whole NOS
thing. But that's just my two cents on the subject.
I also bought the after market seat guide rails and they are not as good
as the originals but they do seem as Jim stated
to be of good enough quality to be worth purchasing.
So with that said i have a question for ya'll. I have just a little bit
of rust showing at the rear of the front wheel well under where the
chrome molding starts. I think that water may be getting in between the
fender panel and the body from the spray of the wheel. My question is
how do i remove the molding? I think if i remove the molding i can see
into the clip hole and get a better assessment of the situation and then
take a course of action to prevent any further rust .
Any help out there? i can email a picture if you want to see what i am
talking about. And finally is anyone planning on going to the t3 swarm
that lives in southern pennsylvania or northern maryland? I want to make
the trip but i would feel more confident with a fellow t3 person driving
along with my wife and i. I plan on trying to meet up with the whole
crew leaving from Russ's house to make the rest of the trip. I anyone is
interested please email me directly.
Thanks all,
jesse

(BTW, this fellow told me that there are 2 kinds of reproductions out
there: the ones he has made which are obviously different from the
OE and some others which have been made to copy the originals
all the way down to the VW trademark and part #. I don't know this
for a fact, but I can't help wondering if this is what ISP is selling.)
