Generally good quality seals for anything are expensive. Being a bit less common, type 3 seals were even more expensive. I have not checked out
Wolfburg Automotive's prices, maybe they are reasonable.
Cheap seals are generally poor quality in both material and fit.

I got some new seals for my notch from wolfsburg auto in Vic, got new doors, rear bootlid, front bonnet and guard beading cost about $260 all up,
quality is good but would still like to compare against WCM. But still happy with purchase.
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.
