[Clemens Berndorff]

Hi guys, I m Clemens from Austria, Europe. Just bought an 85 fifth. Got it running. Need door sealing immediatly. Where can I get these? Do I have to buy them universal? What did you do?

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Clemens,
Wonderful that you got your 85 fifth running ... I feel the same about my 87 fifth.
Do you have any of your door seal left so you could see the profile? I'm going to use generics that have a similar profile.

The thing you need to worry about is removing the seal where the glue/adhesive is still holding it in place without messing up your paint. Some of the chemicals you can use to clean off the glue will also clean off the paint.

Let me find my info and I'll post back here.

Unfortunately Justwondering is correct. There a slight chance you could find a NOS set on epay but it's doubtful and who knows what shape the 30 year old rubber is in. As she said you're better off finding something universal with the same general profile.

Metro rubber might have something close

or maybe a local shop could set you up.

My wife might differ with that opinion.

But thank you.
