Hi,

i'm looking to replace those plastic seals that are found where the top of the front wing meets the scuttle on a mk1 scirocco.

2) does anyone know where i can get them

cheers

Hi,
You did indeed reply to my similar thread, but I wasn't sure if it was the same stuff either. Think I've managed to source a pair now hopefully!
Many thanks for your input, any help is always welcome to me being a total novice.
cheers
Mal.

the beetle stuff either comes in cut to length sections (expensive) or on a long roll (cheap) it's roughly P profile, the round bit is about 5mm diameter, and the flat bit that sticks down below it is about 25 - 30mm long, with notches in to go round the bolts. any chance of a pic and/or some measurements when yours turn up?
