[Vwdiesel] while I'm fixing stuff--body seals

[Shalyn Shourds]

Since I've been having to drive the old '85 Jetta TD lately, I'm 
reminded of some things that I always meant to fix but just never got 
around to.  Primary among them is the seal over the drivers side doors.  
It's about 6 feet long, foam rubber and runs across the top of both 
doors an is glued to the body about the roofline.  I've asked at the VW 
shop, parts shops, and body shops and no one can tell me where to find 
the stuff at any kind of reasonable price (lowest was $180 per).  Anyone 
have a source for that stuff?  If I was driving a Type I Beetle, I could 
probably buy all I could ever hope to use for $10.  What'd be really 
cool is if it were the same stuff, but I don't think I'm that lucky.  Or 
am I? 

As it is, better than half of it is hanging down into the cab and it 
leaks something awful when it rains.  I could glue the remains back up 
in place, but it's pretty dry and a little torn up and if I can 
reasonably replace it, that'd be far the better way. 

Thanks much as always.
