I have purchased a few louvred window outer seals from West Coast Metric for resale but they are black , I have always purchased them from Wolfsburg West in the past and they were the normal original grey. So when this arrived I was surprised to see they were a different color , I didn't even know they made them in black.
Has anybody fitted this seals in their bus and could share a picture to show how they look installed ? I think they will match the rest of the camper's seals pretty good but have nothing to show they do.

This are the seals I'm talking about:

From Just kampers website , altough not sure if they actually sell them in black.

i think c&c sell them in black :? some one put them on there van cant think who it was
 
They would suit the other seals well, but will it stand out too much im wondering.
A photo of some fitted would be good Juan i agree. Still got mine to do so could go this way if it looks good.
 
The Black rubber is EPDM and will last alot longer then the original grey rubber and is more UV resistant for those of us who know what sunshine looks like :p . Its a tougher compound but still as flexible.

I prefer black as it matches the other visible seals (and the inner seal too) a shameless plug :p .

Johnny you are a rubber geek , you could have said the rubber was Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer :roll: :lol:
But you are right , it matches all visible seals , exterior and interior :mrgreen:



Thanks for the picture madman , it does look a bit different at first maybe because we are so used to them being grey , I like it tough.
Anymore pictures anybody ?
 
If you end up ordering from the states Andy let me know and ill share the cost with you. I feel a black pair coming on as well. ;)

Not sure if someone has them in the UK or how much they have them for but if they don't I can sell them to you for $32 posted from California , this are from West Coast Metric.
Sorry for the shameless plug :oops: :mrgreen:
 
When I bought mine a few years ago now, it was pre glued and I think I got it from JK, can't remember now. Problem with buying from the states is import duty and VAT. You might get lucky and it will not get picked up but it may work out a lot more expensive than you think. Worth thinking about.
