That's TRUE!  Everything comes from Ford or a reputable supplier, The Bird
folk have no tolerance for poor fitting stuff or rubber that disintegrates
in a year.

And EVERYTHING is available, most of it pretty cheap too although the OEM
stuff that isn't repro'd can be $$

Strange new world!

Have you or anyone else used Steele Rubber Products?
http://steelerubber.com/

They (reportedly) make great rubber products for a lot of U.S. domestic
vehicles.
Back to some of the earliest & oldest brands.

Unfortunately. it doesn't appear they repro any VW rubber.  Although they
have literally hundreds of Extrusion profiles, sold by the foot lengths,
which MAY work for some of VW applications.

I know when I had my 1930 Model "A" Ford Coupe  (45B) with rumble seat they
(apparently) were not permitted to repro Ford products.  ???  But their
rubber products are reportedly good-quality & long-lasting.

Keith, might they have something for your T-bird project.  What year, body
style, model is the "Bird"?
