[T3] window seals

Tue Jan 29 02:31:04 PST 2013

I'm not sure about the side windows, but the windshield seals ISP sells 
now are not WCM seals.  Big difference in the quality between them. I 
took some side by side pics of them maybe a year ago and posted them on TS.

I have heard discouraging words about seals today from my local shop , especially about the rear hatch seal being almost too loose and the windshield seal not fitting properly on a 73 tho...

I fought for two years to get most o f my money out of the car and i still brought it home. after many tears i came to the realization its roof is buckled and cannot be fixed without a frame machine. It had a brand new german windshie ld seal which cost me a pretty penny. I am going to save the pan even though it is damaged for donor metal to fix my 65S. My question is should I salvage all the metal and offer it to those less fortunate.
> I mean the hood and left fenders front and rear.. yes he really smacked it...  are wrecked...  bumper is dust. I have many type threes in my family so doors and fenders and hatches are a given save. I plan on cutting the roof off at the posts and keeping the entire roof section due to the fact that it too was a working su nroof. I have seen a man on thesamba selling peices of drain sections from rear of car but is there anything else I should be saving??
