Hello all- I am tossing this out to you all first to help me gauge interest in this. We all know the issues concerning door seals , either they are (1) way too expensive[NOS] or (2) Don't fit worth a dang and are a waste of time and money [aftermarket] Well it looks like a very simple solution has been stumbled on, we have discovered a new door seal from a current vehicle [sorry non-vw] that fits the T3 door opening very well. The door seal has moved off of the door to the body, to make this fit you remove the pinch welt that trims your door opening. This new seal in then pressed into place all around the opening. The door no longer holds the seal. So far in our test car the seal holds onto the car with no glue needed, the door has not leaked either. [and we have had a ton of rain lately] The upside of this seal is that true this is not a stock seal so this would not be for everyone , but for the majority of people this could be a nice benefit, and be a bit more accessible. I am in the process of investigating this seal to see what the actual application is. I hope to be able to offer this as a kit if there is any interest in this. I will have pictures very soon for you to see.
