Well! Where do i begin!! Yet again i have stripped out the van to fit parts (this time opening 1/4 seals) brought as a kit from justkampers and paid extra to get genuine VW door seals( the light grey powdered kind) to find i haven't got a chance in hell of fitting the new seals as not even remotely close to the original seal, i.e to long, to fat, moulded bends to short to reach corners, hole/bottom pivet doesn't line up.
After cross referencing the part number i have found these are in fact supplied by VW Heritages/justkampers and Status VW. It really peeves me that these companies can get away with supplying parts "by saying German best quality" when clearly they are only fit for the rubbish bin. I have spent a lot of money with VW Heritage/JustKampers and find myself continually disappointed with their products but I could go on forever. Most parts supplied have a story.
I'm sorry this seems like such a long rant but i am fed up with feeling ripped off, I'd be interested to see if anyone else has got these to fit and has /or not been able to fit them. I am also hoping that someone can offer me some advice on a company that do sell decent fitting seals as currently i have no choice but to fit the worn 38 year old seals back in. The seals i am after are opening 1/4 light window seals / slim profile (68-72) deluxe side and rear window seals.
My advise would be when making purchases is to avoid Mail order and only purchase items you can see and feel (Trust No-one).
Cheers Paul
