Denis have you had the opportunity to test this sealer on the rear hatch?

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.
