Hi,

I got mine from here: http://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/bbCMS/shop ... rtmentId=4

Just measure up what you have and select the relevant section

Quick delivery, and the seals seem fine. Don't buy thier fitting tool though its rubbish - its far too long and the end doesn't fit very well.

Cheers,

Alex

Thanks Alex, but how do you stick the ends together to stop the water getting in the joint?

cheers

once you have the seal all most all on, leave the end about 20mm to long and force it in so it pushes the gap tight, will not leak then!

If you have factory fitted, replace with same. VW emporium do them. Too much messing otherwise. And for anyone thinking they can save a few bob buying JK ones, it simply isn't worth it. They don't fit properly. Seals direct ok but they're not shaped/moulded for corners like proper ones and really only suited where replacements are no longer available.

I second that, they are rubbish!
