Title: New Cab door & roof rubbers
Post by: Madone_si on 27 July 2004, 14:12

Can anyone tell me where I can buy new golf cab door and roof rubbers as I have water leaking in through the right hand door and right wind and top of door near the hood.

I have a new hood installed, but the rubbers are split in both these locations.

Thanks. :)

i doubt its the actual door thats leaking,  more likely the window rubber.   my door has bent slightly though under pressure from the hood - is it the same for u??

i have a set of roof seals, want 80 quid for them though cos ive never seen em much cheaper and dont really want to sell, but i will for the right money  ;)

Vixteris are they new rubber seals? Due to I am doing a complete restore on the car, I want to get new rubbers all round really. I managed to get second hand rubbers from another cab, but still have same issues.

Does anyone know that Darren Robinson who restored that Mk1 golf in the golf mag - he got all new rubbers and seals from somewhere - might have to ask the golf mag if they can find out.....

i was told VAG still do them but there near on 200 a set or there abouts.  cant remeber who told me that, but probably someone on this site.  

The ones i have look brand new, no tears, not dried out etc but i dont think they are brand new as i got em 2nd hand.   i thought my leak problems were down to the roof seals but it was as said above,  the door being pushed out by the hood  :-\

GPC (http://www.gpcvwaudi.com/index.htm) do them, and are a great company for all cabrio spares
