Re: [T3] Repro Windshield Rubber Problems

["Mysterious J" <mysteriousj@snet.net>]

I've noticed that WCM is either out of or no longer carries the rear window
seal with the molding groove for the Fastback.  We currently have a
"temporary" set of California seals in the car now, but they're gone before
the car goes to the bodyshop next month.  Is there a source for a good
quality Fastback rear window seal with the groove?
