ISP west in the states have them, it's the only place I know that sells grooved seals.
50 bucks each for front and rear, 25 for any of the side seals.

I got a set from ISP WEST. They are good. And about 200$ cheeper than here. Let me know if you need the chrome Mylar that can replace the original
stuff. I stuffed my order and got double what I needed.

Yer it replaces the original.
I bought it for less than half vintage quoted.
It looks good. I'll post pix on Monday. But just look at a pic of my car, I only have it around the front screen ATM.

checked out ispwest. $170.00 for a full set. sounds good!!
shipping is about $90 according to their site. gets cheaper the more you buy so might have to max out the credit card
thanks zocstar. might have to give you a call if we screw up the old chrome

Wcm are selling door kits for $635.80??
https://shop.westcoastmetric.com/viewProduct.php?productID=311-061
Yet their window rubbers are quite cheap?
Where do most people get their type 3 stuff from? I need a full kit, every rubber for a car.
Thanks

So is ISP West still the place to go for seals?
All this rain we've been having lately has shown me how poor my windscreen seals are.
Thinking of making an order. Postage costs seem huge though.

It's weird. I've bought bigger and heavier stuff fom the U.S and it was cheaper to ship than some of the quotes I've got from ISP. Oh well. Might
have to make a big order and see if he'll combine postage. I tried this once in the past but got a reply saying that postage would be too expensive
to be economical.

Just ordered hood seal, door seals, rear hatch seal and engine compartment seal for my square from ISP - combined postage $48 - seems pretty
reasonable to me.
Hopefully they all fit!! Heard door seals are okay.

yes the door, hood and boot seals are superior to all others. They are developed and made by ISP just like their pop out window seals which is also
150% tops.
but unfortunately the window seals are still only resized type 1 cheap repro not supplied from ISP.
Don't worry ISP are working on their own seals with type 3 factory specs. They have real proto type seal being tested over the last 2 years with good
results.
Only a mater of time before the start producing them. 
Thats why I decided not to buy window seals yet

I read about that on the Samba also. He said it'll take a couple years apparently. Don't think I can let me windscreen leak that long =/
