MKII Door Window Molding – Is it available?

[waynea]

Hello All,

I’m having a problem finding new window molding for a 91 GTI 16V. It looks like the dealer cant get it anymore and I can’t find any aftermarket suppliers. The molding is pretty bad and when it rains the water runs right down into the door and floods the entire left side. I also tried a few auto window shops but they have no listing for it. Does anyone know where I could get new door window molding?

Thanks,
Wayne

Window molding? do you mean the plastic membrane that's inside the door cards, which seperated the inside and outside? It's a popular thing for them to shrink up in MK2's and therefore all the water runs onto the door card getting it & the interior wet. I'm not sure about any manufacturerrs that do it, but I know that you could easily make your own out of some strong plastic membrane cut to the size of the door and attached with something like silicone

Do you mean the inner gasket that seals the door to the body or the roof line one that seves as a moulding and seal. Either way you can get the dealer to do a national searh for obsolete parts. VW will not ship them so you have to pay UPS charges.
