I had OEM seals on my Wagon. you could cut a few mm of the back of the rubber with a sharp razor blade.... this will allow the seal to sit back
on the door properly.

I got some WCM ones... trouble is... they were a little long...
So i fitted them and cut them like VW54.......
Made sure the join was at the bottom and glued them all round..

hey Tazz,
as I now have a new baby, where do you recommend for bits in brissie for a '71 type 3? Micks? or mail up from south? looking first for door seals
(front and rear hatch) and wanting to find popouts  as well
eventually
Cheers
