[T3] Seat Guides

[Jim Adney]

I have a small supply of NOS VW seat rail slides. I sell a complete set for 
$60, including shipping. I don't know that they need to be flexible. They just 
need to be slippery. I'm thinking that HDPE may be a good choice for them, 
but I know little about plastics and nothing about 3D printing.

The MOST important thing is that they be installed carefully and properly. 
Most people will break at least one the first time they try to install them. I 
include detailed instructions on how to do this. Be warned, it's difficult.
