    Getting ready to do a bit of work to the old girl .
    Need all window seals , door seals , etc.
    I will install a sliding rear glass , light tint to side windows .
    What do you all think about sourcing said seals ?
    Last ones I sourced were from J C Whitney , almost 20 years ago .....
    D C ? LMC ? other sources ?
    I just want input good and bad about quality .

    Thanks for any input !

    I rebuilt my 73 Super Beetle out of a Whitney Paper catalog years ago ...
    less than 500 for a full engine rebuild , with new heads , new exzaust and rubber seals for the windows .
    I had 408K on it when I sold it to a customer that was moving back to Oregon . I am told they still own it !

    I needed a accel coil pack for the 'sploder.
    They had the best price, and free shipping.
    I didn't look for you from them, but the other people sell nothing but weather stripping, so they will be hard to beat

    I bought tons of stuff from JC Whitney back when they were the only game in town. We waited 6-8 weeks for our stuff and sometimes the order was even correct. Other times, they shipped white seat covers over and over no matter how many times I ordered gray.

    After reading all of their hokey descriptions for parts for 10-20% increases in mileage, I figured I was going to have to start pumping gas out of my Bronco!

    I bought most of my stuff for the 78SC from Jeff's Bronco Graveyard. The quality was great.

    I have read somewhere about Jeffs Graveyard . I shall look at them also .
    Thanks !
