MKII Windshield Seal Source?

[sciroccojunky at gmail.com (Lance LaPrarie)]

You can still get the glass. It's made by Pinkerton. Can't get VW factory
glass which is kind of a rip, but oh well. The glass is about $200 but the
seal is $275. That to me doesn't make a whole lot of sense but that is how
it is. At least for me. If you can find one for cheaper let me know. I may
want to get another one as a spare. A rock decided to make a chip under my
wiper. Didn't notice it  until I washed my car and moved the wiper and low
and behold a chip.

On a side note, the ETKA is pretty damn cool. I spent a few hours last night
browsing through parts and car illustrations. Nice to be able to pull up
exact parts and see if they are still available.

My two cents.
