    Not having much luck elsewhere so might as well ask here.
    I'm getting to the end of a 4 year restoration on my 3 door Type 19 GTI, and one of the last parts that I'm still looking for is the door window seals. Believe they are part numbers 191837432 and 191837431.

    The car has had a full bare metal respray and so far I have been successful in finding either new or very good used exterior rubbers, as rubber trims in particular can really let the look of a car down if they're a bit scruffy. So I'm really hoping I can find a set of similar condition window seals. Would really appreciate if anyone knows of a set for sale.

    I've done that for the rain gutter trims but with the window seals it's more the shrinkage that's a problem. They leave a gap between the seal and scraper across the bottom.

    You can buy products that if applied properly can be shaped to fill the gaps. I used a quality black window frame adhesive which worked really well and gave a seamless finish

    4 or 5mm silicone hose. Like for fish tank pumps etc. push it into the gap and it spreads them out. We’ve done it on ours, learnt it from @dodgy
