Jacob, when it was at the body shop did they use a good primer like DP
40/90? Did they paint the under side of them body color? If yes to both then
you're probably ok to just leave them like this as they are sealed. However
if not the I'd recommend using the POR15. The reason I'm asking is because
when my car was done it was painted inside and out on the outer panels
because the car was being built as a daily driver meaning that it could be
caught in rain or snow, and I wanted it sealed. It also helped that I was
doing a color change, so most of it was going to get repainted anyway. I'd
try to stay away from the spray on undercaoting as it has a tendency to dry
out and flake off.

Well thats all VW did when they built it the first time, so I guess it would
be ok this time too.

You can try ISP West as they seem to be offering them, but they are a little
pricey, maybe someone on the list (parting out a car) can help you. An
alternative might be to visit a camping suppy store and see if they have
something you can use to fake it with, as its only a foam strip that seals
it. I hope this helps.
