Please forgive me if this is in the Wiki, or has been done to death in another post. have just spent two hours and cannot find anything definitive.

My Autosleeper Trident will be back from paint next week and I want to order all the seals ready. Cost is not an issue, I want to fit the best avaliable. Many suppliers seem to have O.E seals for the front and rear screens so that is alright, but what about the side (Autosleeper fitted) windows? Who supplies the best none O.E seals for both the side windows, and where O.E seals are not avaliable for the O.E glass.

Thanks in anticipation.

Being a cut in a panel van, all the openings are different sizes. So when you buy from schofields , you cut them to size. Windscreen, i have no idea, you can still get genuine VW from http://www.status-vw.co.uk/

Cheers Lloyd,

Will try Status, if you have to cut and join Schofield's/JK's etc... seals I might as well buy from Baines and make my own.

I just bought windscreen rubber from status, Genuine VW. Think it was 40 quid something delivered.
When i got the rubbers from schofields for my previous van, they had an offer on. Made it very worthwile. You have to ring them to see if they have an offer on
