MK1 Ragtop

If there's one thing I reaaaaaaaally hate.... Wind noise.

You get much in the cabby? The roof rack would surely make a ****load of noise haha

Dude.... You've gone all this way not to invest in seals. Mark man just do it. $300 is a small price to pay for something that's designed right and will make a hell of a difference in comfort. Your mk1s awesome and deserves the best.

[MarcusAurelius]

Nah 300 is too much man! Good for me, mk5 4door rubbers work! they are a tad big so closing the doors take a TAD more effort but it doesnt bother me, and only set me back $30!!!

[GeorgeMK1]

Mk1 ... mk5. Mk1? mk5? Where is the connection hahaha, how does 30 years difference mean no difference in door seals.

Many confusions

[MarcusAurelius]

Funny thing is, mk3 and mk4 dont work haha. However, mk5 seal sit in the door frame and not on the door so instead of using the standard mk1 U-channel that sits in the mk1 door frame and the seal in the door, i removed the U channel seal and used the mk5 one on its place so no need to use a seal on the door. Just works in reverse

[Petska84]

so you took the pinch weld off and put one with a seal glued to it? Sound like a good idea!!
But does it seal property where the A pillar is? And are you running scuf trims at the bottom? Sorry mark hahah I'm a little puzzled as to how the entire door is sealed🤔

[MarcusAurelius]

Ill post a pic tonight, but yes, the entire door seals. I have removed the scuff trims as that's the door gap was biggest (car had a part accident and the skirts are a tad off)

[MarcusAurelius]

Oh and something special for the mk1

[GeorgeMK1]

Ohhhhhhh, so you did the seal on the body and not the door itself, gotcha. Oh and lovely looking seats!
