Door and boot rubbers

[homesea]

I'm thinking of replacing all the rubber door and boot seals.

Anyone done this and know the rough cost from OPC?

Will give them a ring tomorrow just want to know if I need to be sitting down!

I've bought boot seals from Porsche Shop before. They were the cheapest non-OPC I could find and very good quality. Just fitted one last weekend.

My door seals were £71.94 each and the hatch seal was £71.87 + VAT @ 15% back in 2002 from OPC, be interested to see how the price compares today, prices are dependant on demand.

Thanks for the info, are the door rubbers just pushed on or glued on?

 

[andy watson]

Not too sure to be honest the bodyshop fitted them after the respray.

door seals are glued on ...why not fit the 968 version almost the same just a slightly better fit

 

[homesea]

Looks nice but what's the difference?

 

[Kongsodoken]

Not much, but it is the same cost as a 944 so why not[]
the fit at the top corner of the door was improved and the seal is more of a flip than a bubble

Interesting, mine are a bit leaky 968 sounds like a good idea. Did you get the latest Porsche prices homesea?

Out of memory, I think door seals are circa £90 each currently.

I've been wanting to do this for some time too but haven't yet decided b/w the Prosche seal vs the non Porsche branded stuff.

Is there any difference in quality?

Yup []

Got a new set waiting, what kind of glue did you use to fit yours?

 

[Kongsodoken]

got the glue from

give them a call and they will recomend one, they have so many I can not remember which one I used.

IMHO I would always go for OEM the saving is not worth the extra hassle, if it leaks or does not fit right then your always thinking is it me or the seal, the tailgate seal from porsche has a mastic bead inside the carrier some aftermarket ones do not...

After leaving university I worked for a major motor car manufacturer as a BIW engineer I spent 5 years designing door and glazing seals ....the good old days[]
