After Scott Mason of PAP autoparts posted their intention: There was at least two pages of immediate responses to his offer. For the benefit of those who indicated that you're not Vortex members--This is Scott's reply: --------------------- The sample seals are going to the manufacturer today. Once I hear back from them on whether they can produce the extrusion and approve a price, it will be about 5 weeks until the first run is completed.
Just for an idea on price, a repro 911 Coupe door seal retails for $24.95. The mk2 seal is a bit more involved and a bit lower volume (maybe!), but they should come in under $50 each (WELL under if we're lucky). Can't make any promises but I'll try my hardest! I'm also looking into hatch and trunk seals. I'll also look into scalp moldings (on the roof), but the complexity makes that a tough, tough piece to reproduce. Thanks for the input!! ------------------ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Les Noriel Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2005 9:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [a2-16v-list] A2 Door and Window Seals A source for replacement door and windows seals has been discussed on this list before with little success in locating a source. Some dealers still carry the items for our cars but aftermarket has fallen short. Parts that are available have been expensive. PAP Autoparts, one of the Vortex sponsors, is working with manufacturers over seas to explore the idea of making replacement seals for our cars. Prices have yet to be determined but there seems to be a high degree of interest. Much more so than any other group-but scenarios that I've seen in the past. Hopefully something comes of this See the thread http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1819804 -Les _______________________________________________ a2-16v-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.a2-16v.com/mailman/listinfo/a2-16v-list For list archives, see listinfo link above.
