Thanks Mikey914 !!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
--------------------------- Is it me, or are these door lock seals impossible to find? I made a post last week about trying to find some of these fragile rubber seals, so that I could complete the rebuild of my door locks - and it appears NO one makes them (Yet!). Hopefully these photos of one will help someone (Mikey914 ??) make some as Aftermarket brand. This one is a bit dirty, but it is still in very good usable condition. So, they look like this in the door keylock assembly: approximate width is about .177 More to Come..... |

Part VI
Top View (note the slight seated ledge area just a few mils in depth) Side View Ok, well this concludes the slide show & gives a good idea of what this animal looks like, and the approximate measurements, give or take a few mils......if need be, I can try to take added measurements, or maybe send a busted sample to someone. Anyway, I hope this is enough to spark someone to begin making these door lock seals, as replacement parts since OEM is not an option. I will begin on the glove box & trunk seal just subsequently, since I believe they are slightly different measurements (?). Cheers, Ken |

Ken - you might PM or email Mikey914 (Mark W.) & see if he can & will make them & where to send the decent shape seal, since I think he typically uses a good used, or preferably new/NOS part from which to make a mold IIRC.
... Send him this one, if you can part with it until he gets some made? Mark - FYI - I'll be in for at least 2 for my door locks, 4-5 if they're found in all of the 914 locksets (2 doors, F &/or R trunks, glovebox), & it sounded like a lot of folks out there will need them too. Cheers back at ya! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |

I can put this on my plate, should be able to have something in a week or so. Hopefully less as I took my lock apart to get a sample and it fell apart. Now I need one too. The other lock proved to be a more viable sample, but wow, it just disentigrated.
So the question is how many peopel need these? I have a suspicion that there are quite a few that do and don't even know. I can make these for $3.15 per part for those that want to step up now. After production has been run $5 each. Quite a difference in price, but if you want to step up now and commit to a few parts, you'll save some cash. |

Did anyone research VW/Audi door lock seals?
The 914 seals look just like every VW/Audi door lock seal I have had apart in the last 20 years. I have never compared 914 to VW/Audi but always assumed they were the same size. VW/Audi door handles were a common failure and I re-keyed almost everyone I replaced. I probably have 3 or 4 seals loose in my tool box and a few in door handles I still have around. I don't know if the seals are available separately or not. Jim |

Does anyone know if these are used in just the door locks or all locks (doors, hood, trunk and glove box)?
