4k door problems.. still

[DeWitt Harrison]

Well, Sir, I don't yet know how this is possible but I am
very happy to know about it. I'm all over it. Hello Autohauz!
Thank you very much, Mr. BCNU. Most  appreciated advice
and good example of the importance of this list. (Yet I would
still caution folks that there is still a world of shit out there.)

Any sources for new type 44 door weather seals?
