914World.com _ FS/WTB: 914 Parts _ WTB - nos door weatherstrip.

Posted by: 914Next Jun 23 2020, 09:18 AM

Any chance there is nos weatherstrip available? I haven’t looked real close to see where this piece begins and ends but It is the weatherstrip on the leading edge of the passenger door glass. Looks like mine hardened and then is now getting pushed in and torn when the door closes.

Steve,
I had a bunch of NOS rubber on the shelf for about 18 years and thought i was so cool for being able to install it on my restoration project. What i learned is that even on the shelf the rubber still shrinks and did not fit well. The windshield to targa pulled itself apart at the ends overnight after installing.
I ended up buying fresh 914 rubber seals and could not be happier.
Not sure if this is typical but just my experience.
