[T3] seals

[Dave Hall]

The bonnet (hood) seals (and quite a few other parts) sold by
status-vw.co.uk are claimed to be "genuine VW" but I don't know where they
are made.  So many things are farmed out to cheaper factories, but genuine
VW should mean decent quality.   

One of our UK members has a rubber manufacturiong factory in SE Asia - he is
making a number of seals, including the early front wrap-around indicator
seals.  I've asked him to consider the later style ones, but he doesn't
expect to make those as the investment in the moulds is considerable.  He
sells on eBay with the name notch1500.  I guess that's why he's made the
wrap-round but not the later seal.

Question  for those who may know,

Were ANY of the straight Repop extrusion hood  and decklid seals actually
made in Germany or were they all US, brazillian  or other origin?




I think they are all made in USA.
