One way of saving the old ones is to (with beading taken off the car) sand the oxidation away from the plastic. The ones on my blue fasty was more white than blue, some fine sandpaper took away the white oxidation and brought back the blue color. I then used silicon spray to protect them from more oxidation. This only works if the old ones are«nt comletely gone.. When fitting, it helps to warm the beading a bit in warm water, but not too much as they will then become stone hard and almost impossible to fit without cracking. --- Keith Park <topnotch@nycap.rr.com> skrev: > We dont have round welting on the T3's, this wouldnt > fit or look good. > there are several different styles of shapes used on > the T3... making the > kits for us less common but Marks Bug Barn still > sells the old WCM kits and > they have all the correct peices for around $100 > > Keith > > Keith Park > > Top Notch Restorations > topnotch@nycap.rr.com > 71 Squareback > 65 Notchback > 65 Squareback > 87 Golf > 88 Rx7 10th Anniversary > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Kevin Guarnotta" <kguarnotta@usa.net> > To: <type3@vwtype3.org> > Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2004 7:20 AM > Subject: [T3] fender welting > > > > Have you guys seen this on thesamba: > > > http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=69909 > > > > I emailed the guy, and he says he can make them > any length.
