Floorpan seal - where to buy in QLD?
psimitar - July 18th, 2010 at 06:24 PM

Hiya all,
Wondering where to get hold of the floorpan rubber seal for a Bug in QLD?

I got one from Micks but it's pre-cut and badly so cos the sides are too short n ends too long. Classic I'm not happy with paying double on the postage cost so where else apart from maybe Custom?

Cheers

from what i can tell from being in various qld shops, everyone seems to get their gear from micks...

my suggestion, take the one you have back for a refund, ive done that a few times with crap parts

Yea was gonna take it back but where to get a 'roll' of seal from?

You know the funny thing is that if the stuff from Micks came as a roll then it woulda been the correct overall length cos the sides were short but the ends long by the same amount :crazy:

Last seal I got was from Mick Motors and it was just a whole roll. Not cut or anything.

Ah ha, right well shall see what they say when I call tomoro then :)

Gotta admit I did find it odd having a pre-cut seal and if they'd measured it right it'd all be good :lol:

If you can buy a seal for a type 3. I'm fairly sure that's what they sold me because I had a heap left over. The seal is exactly the same there's just more of it. Gives you a bit more to play with.

I asked for a beetle one and that's what they sold it to me as, but it has to have been a type three one cause I had quite a bit left over. Almost a meter I think.

Well got told by Micks that most the suppliers do them pre-cut now-a-days but the T3 option will definately work even if pre-cut cos it's longer and wider :)

Micks managed to find a roll of seal in their old stock so sent the other back and all good now :) :) Mega happy :D
