Door seals
It's time to replace the door seals on my notchback.
Have been told that original items would be $300 or can
get aftermarket rubber for $40 per side. Has anybody used these. If so what was your experience as far as effectiveness and apperance.

I have heard/read that the original $300 ones are great.
ISP West in USA has just come up with a new alternative a couple of months ago. They are a continous extrusion with just the one join at the top
corner of the door.
Apparently they are great and just USD$80 for a pair.

I bought the cheap ones recently from Classic VW - they are just a generic line that doesn't even fit lengthwise. Total false economy and will be
buying genuines soon.

Will fine out tomorrow anyways as the isp seals arrived at the post office today.

yes I got me seals 
I must say, perfect fit. Just check the pic. Mind you I just rested the seal around the door and that is how good it lines up.
I pushed in 2 spots to see how it fit into the grove.  Real soft too.
Recommended to all.
Guess that rusted out door was kept for a reason, practice on what I recon is the hardest part of the type 3 to dissemble/assemble

Good to know they fit, people have suggested the German ones at over $300. How much for postage for the ISP ones?

Hi Vlad,
Can you please post some detailed pictures of the sound deadening in that door? I need to try to reproduce this for my Fastback. Can you trace it as a
pattern?
Thanks,
Jed

Hi Vlad,
Checked the catalogue, yes they do sell something, but from the picture it does not look stock. Can you trace them up, or, if that is a spare/scrap
door, pull that one off as a pattern?
Regards,
Jed

It's a shame the DDB in the US isn't producing their seals any more - I've got a set on my square and they fit/work perfectly... |
