Grab the phone and CALL Ronnie at http://www.type2parts.com/ . Don't try to
use the online catalog, it's not finished and the prices are seldom
accurate.

Don't email. His email box is so overflowing he misses quite a bit.

Give hime the year of your bus and ask what he reccomends. If he tells you
that a seal *is* the best then that means he has installed one on his or a
customer's bus and it worked the way it was supposed to. If he says "it is
cheaper but it will work" it means, once again, he has installed one at
some point. It may have required some custom trimming, or maybe even
cutting it into several pieces then gluing it back together -- but he got
it to work as an acceptable substitute for OEM German. "I don't like these
but they're the cheapest" means you should probably drill a few drain holes
if you choose to purchase those particular seals and try to "make them
work".
