3 Door Window Rubber shrunk and need a replacement...?

[mboon]

As above? the one that stops water going between the glass and entering the internals of the doors.

One side has shrunk, one hasnt, would like to replace both, did I search and found GPC website but it seems to be down.

Any ideas where I can get some? I have asked VW and they said they dont sell the rubber kits etc for the MK2 anymore?

prob find that vw may start doing em again as part of the vw classic range,m they've already brought back a fair few disocontinued parts that way

What do you reckon chances of new G60 arches are, RJ??  surely it'd be in their best interest to do it, they'd make an f'ing mint!

you can buy g60 arches from bigboystoys or whatever it is cant you?

[mboon]

Sorry mate, hijacking your thread. As in the plastic arch trim around the wheels

I spoke to someone at Big Boys Toys a while ago (like last year), regarding window rubbers, and was told at the time that they had none. But, the guy did say it would be worth getting back in touch, as they would possibly be able to have them made. Perhaps once there was sufficient demand.

I then went and got 'the last' (apparently) drivers window seal, and passenger scraper seal (3dr) from my local VW dealer.

So may be worth giving BBT a phone...
