Denis have you had the opportunity to test this sealer on the rear hatch? "Gerald V. Livingston II" <gerald.tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: He's trying to seal up the rear hatch on a '70 BAY. That Bay rear hatch seal is the only one that you can't find a Brazilian replacement for. Even the new Brazilian buses have an $80 German seal on the rear hatch. It has a metal strip molded in to help it stay in place in a shallow open "U" channel that runs at the bottom of the hatch and keep it formed around the latch pin indentation. I guess the Brazilian VW rubber manufacturers can't make that cheap enough for people to find the abysmal quality acceptable. Denis Dodson wrote: > Here's the stuff Everett uses.
