tech notes:
These are the original style body molding seals that were used up to 1957. However, there is a trick to using that these that we discovered. While, early style metal body molding clips are still being made, these are actually a later version that we believe VW started using in 1958. The earlier style had teeth on them that helped them grab the body hole, while the later style didn't as they were snugged into place by the later style body molding seal which just presses into the hole. So, if you want to use the witch hat style seals and you only have new body molding clips, here is what you will need to do:
1) Insert the later style body molding seals into the holes on your VW.
2) Attach the body molding to the car using the newer clips.
3) On the inside of the car whereever the body molding comes through, glue the "witch hat" style seals in place.
This will give you the original look of the early style seals wher they are visible (actually only under the hood), but still give your the sealing quality of the later seals. Also, using only these early seals with the new body molding clips will result in loose fitting molding which will allow water through to the inside of your VW. These original style seals look nice and work well with the original molding clips, but aren't very functional otherwise.
Finally, we personally use 3M Super 77 adhesive to attach these seals.
