While you’re in there: if you get the bolts out, reinstall them with never-size. Mine were so rusty, they wouldn’t turn….

I just installed a set on my restoration project from 914 rubber. They're fine. They will need to be bent for the curvature and cut to length. You can bend them by hand and tin snips will cut them since there is a metal strip inside the rubber. I'll order another set soon because I never knew there was a front & rear seal. Both of my other 914's only had the front one as long as I've owned them. I learn something new every day I work on these cars.
