Title: WTB: Cheap door *handle* seals
Post by: theman53 on August 17, 2013, 06:17:12 pm: I need at least 1 set of a small and large but if the price was right I need all four doors.

If you have a good cheap source for new that would be great too.

Post by: damac on August 17, 2013, 09:45:23 pm: Are you just talking about the seal on the outside of door so you can shut it?

Or all the little bits as well on windows?

I could have sworn I read about people using some van parts still in production with same profile, but need some trimming.

I about crapped my pants when I saw that it costs almost $800 for all new seals for my rabbit from that guy on ebay. I will need to find out what to do myself in a few months when I start restoring a couple cars.

Post by: Blocksmith on August 18, 2013, 07:42:52 am: AutohausAZ has the small ones for $1.20, but the large ones are expensive ($5); I don't remember them being that much when I bought mine.

Title: Re: WTB: Cheap door *handle* seals
Post by: theman53 on August 28, 2013, 05:30:17 am: Are you mental? I can buy new ones for that. I am looking for cheap.

Say I will buy the used ones for 5.00 for all of them. If I wanted to spend 20. I would buy 4 new ones.

Post by: bbob203 on August 28, 2013, 05:47:19 am: wow man settle down ;) I have no idea what they are worth. hell ill just give them to you if you send me 5 bucks for postage and handling. ill drop them in the mail today. [email protected] for paypal
Title: Re: WTB: Cheap door *handle* seals
Post by: theman53 on August 28, 2013, 05:48:40 am: OK...money sent. Thanks, sorry to go off a little but that was my premise for the cheap in the thread title.
Title: Re: WTB: Cheap door *handle* seals
Post by: srgtlord on August 31, 2013, 10:18:06 pm: Just curious here, but why cheap out on the seals when you have spent good $$$ on the rest of the car?
Title: Re: WTB: Cheap door *handle* seals
Post by: theman53 on September 01, 2013, 09:50:37 am: I need to redo the paint and other stuff. If I was going to redo it soon I would buy new. But right now the car is going to be a side car and probably a winter car for now. I also have a jeep project going and nothing is cheap on a jeep. So if I can save money here and there I will. I also have 3 used sets on the car so one new and 3 used would be bad for me.

It should only take 1 day from any of your locations. I really want to put the seals on tomorrow and they are not here. You said it would be in the mail Monday.

Post by: jboogie13 on September 06, 2013, 09:47:29 am: I'm all for saving money, but at the price they cost new, how can that be considered expensive? They don't exactly wear out that often.... ::)
Title: Re: WTB: Cheap door *handle* seals
Post by: CRSMP5 on September 06, 2013, 10:01:53 am: may take 4 days usps... but unlike fed-x it will show up and be delevered to the right place... they loose boxes and leve them at unknown places.. fed-x is worst....

Post by: theman53 on September 06, 2013, 02:07:39 pm: Finally got them today. My bad I forgot that they didn't work Monday, so I was expecting them much sooner.

Jboogle 13 ... read above, I explained it. I will get new looking seals when the time comes.
