Hi, I've recently replaced the rear and side window seals as well as the rubber seal between the rear fender and the indicator pods on my '68 Type 1. When I wash the car I get a bleed of black colouring from the seals. They are WCM seals. Does anyone know of a 'seal' I can seal them with to stop it happening? Thanks Russ

Thanks vw54, will try. A good soaking or just regular applications?

I think you're right. I bought them off ebay, they were in WCM packaging but I think I was duped because WCM rubber probably wouldn't bleed like that. Bummer, but I have to live with it now. I guess that's the price you pay sometimes. As a good mate says "quality is remembered long after price is forgotten". I'll give the armourall a go. Have you ever heard of a product called Gummi-Pflege?

Aparently its available through BMW and is used to condition rubber seals. Just wondered if it's any good. No worries thanks for your help.
