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.
