A week or so back I got a box of rubber and a shift lever I had purchased from Mark (Mikey914) with 914Rubber.Com. Today I had some time after doing my taxes all day yesterday...

The shift knob went on my Rennshifter II like it was born there. Nice and tight. No more twisty - twisty to keep the shift knob pointed in the right direction.

Next came the rear seal for the side window. Slipped right in as if it was OEM. Nice...

Finally, the inner door seal. Perfect. Love it! Nice work Mark. My doors sound solid, like a new car when I close them. No more wind noise due to the shrunken window seal.

I am impressed and we are very blessed to have you on the 914World team. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


Thank You Mark!!!

Thats good news. I NEVER got my parts from him after a bunch of emails back and forth. Maybe I should give him another chance.

Actually, that happened to me too but Mark took care of it. Sent a second box and used UPS instead I think...

I don't know for certain, but have to wonder if Mark isn't innundated! It's the Spring season & everyone wants it NOW!

I'll tell you this - I've purchased a number of Marks parts. They are superior to Factory. Same look, but the guts are better! I defy anyone to show me the the Factory parts are superior, or that the difference is discernable.

Just got some goodies from Mark today. As usual, you have to be in the right place........

Nothing but the best to say for this guy!

Well as if that wasn't enough for today, after writing the first post in this thread, my 12 year old brings me the mail and there is a package from Mark with new sunvisor mounts! I now have both sunvisors for the first time in all the time I have owned my 914! Once again, Thanks Mark! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yep, Mark is a great guy. Best thing is he is local to me and runs things over to my place all the time. He actually put thought into his products and they are the highest quality you can buy.

I have put in door seals, front trunk bulk head, rear side window, and waiting for time to put in the targa to window seals. Also I lookforward to the triangle window rubber.
Thanks Mikey914 it's all good stuff.

Mark has asked my assistance on a double-top-secret project that will forever change the 914 community. It may even change the course of the tides, if he ever gets around to it.

Mark, I am awaiting your instruction. As soon as you are ready, I will send the "package".

I'm lucky enough to be local, too, and can't say enough good things about Mark or his products! If you talk to him at length, you'll really appreciate all the work/planning/tooling/perfecting that he puts into each and every offering. Frankly, I think he underprices many of his stuff. I don't know how he even has time to do all that great work, given his day job flying planes! You're the Master, Mark.

I have purchased his targa top seals, rear window seals, front bumper top, and just installed the fender cowl seals. Everything has been top notch. I would not buy rubber parts from anyone else. Thanks Mark!

My new-to-me 914 has been pretty much just sitting in the garage. But I've already made a small list of seals I'm going to get from Mikey. I've heard nothing but good things.

And yes, thanks for taking an intrest in 914's! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

These things are getting old enough now that parts sourcing will only get harder to do.

He's a little too busy for me right now. I didn't get any response on the last items but I'm not in a big rush anyway.

Mark contacted me after seeing this, so i'm keeping my fingers crossed. I really think he wants to take care of us, just maybe a little overwhelmed from trying to design, sell, web pages, and shipping. Maybe he can clone himself out of rubber to help.
