If you cant afford the seals just yet, buy a car cover.
Not very sexy i know, but when the sun comes out, what would you rather be driving around in?
I was lucky enough to get one of these covers for christmas, handy until i can find a decent roof!

lol i got one of the covers for xmas too lol
but hey im a stickler for my car looking sweet i had the roof repaired by a mate i got in the trade only charged me a few pints down the pub but its deff the rubbers that have gone! i can afford the replacement rubbers from vw but hey i just hate to give them that kind of cash  (nearly 300 quid) for a bit of rubber jeeze thats like saying get married and still have to take wifey out lol
so i just wanna find someone a bit on the cheeper side

Heres another thought!
Pop down to your local newsagents and flick through the classic car mags,
in the back there are a couple of places that supply new rubber seals for restoration projects.
I think they do free catalogues and you can check the profiles by asking for samples.
You may not get an exact match, but if it does the job at a fraction of VAG prices-BINGO!
Classic car mags? Bingo? Im starting to live upto my name "Old_boy"
