Seals

These guys on eBay sels all kind of seal I bought from them good price even when they ship to Canada.

Here is an extract of one of there offering


Mk4



Trailer & RV Sales, Parts Service and Rentals
270 E Jackson St
Seneca, IL 61360
815/357-3292


1/4" Trim seal with 5/8" bulb on end
Used on many pop up campers for the top seal
Fits over material approximately 1/4" to 5/16" thick flange, and has a 5/8" soft rubber bulb seal
Has dual "grip fingers" inside and steel spring molded into the rubber.

Black, with black bulb
I use for trim around doors, lids, and about any other exposed edge. Prevent leaks, gaps, and vibration. Flexible PVC Edge Trim slides on easily to cap any edge. Inside metal clips provide a permanent grip on RV doors, truck cabs, golf carts, tractors, motorcycles, ATV fenders, fiberglass, sheet metal and more.

WE SELL THIS PRODUCT BY THE FOOT, PRODUCT will be IN ONE CONTINUOUS PIECE to the exact length you order! (TO GET THE LENGTH YOU WANT, before you hit the "buy it now button" Put the quantity you want in feet, before you hit the buy it now.)

Free Shipping (U.S.A. ONLY) on orders over 20' of Trim. If Purchasing 20' ft.+ Trim,
Please ask for and wait for Updated Invoice before paying or select "LOCAL PICKUP" if you purchase 20 feet or more so the shipping cost is zero!
AK, HI, PR and International Sales Shipping price will vary based on your postal code- do not select local pick up if you by less than 20 feet, or live outside the contiguous 48 states.

Shipping:

Items under 90 pounds are shipped regular ground service by the lowest cost method.
UPS is our primary carrier, but we may use others at our discretion.
Priority Mail or First Class Mail is used for small packages (not parcel post or media mail).
Shipments to Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico may be charged a shipping cost more the amount listed for this item, please ask before you pay.
Tracking numbers are emailed (if you supply an email address) the morning after your item ships
We will ship outside the United States, please contact us for shipping quotes. Any items advertised as "free Shipping" will be shipped to the lower 48 United States

We will ship via Fed Ex Ground upon request.
We will ship overnight UPS or FED EX, for actual shipping cost. Please Call 815/357-3292 if your order is time critical. We don't sit at the computer all day, and sometime e-mails get delayed...

Normally we ship M-F, within 24 hours of payment (weekend/holiday purchases are usually shipped the next business day) BUT we may ship as fast as 20 minutes after you pay, so if you want or need special requirements, or want us to "hold" the order, DO NOT PAY until you are ready for us to ship!


For pick up, Click here for directions

We Combine Shipping

"Typically" you pay shipping on one item only (the heaviest item, or highest shipping charge), all other items ship for free if they will ship in the same box!

But, use common sense! We cant ship a light bulb and a 60 pound Brake drum in the same box! Also UPS and USPS has limits on box size and weight, (or surcharges for large or heavy boxes) so keep that in mind!


You must pay for all items with one payment (see ship times above).

If you feel the shipping charge eBay automatically calculates at checkout is not correct, please click "request total from seller" before you pay out, and we will correct it!


Payment:
All eBay purchases can be paid by PayPal, COD, or any other payment method allowed by eBay.

You may call our store at 815/357-3292 9-6 M-F, CST, and pay over the phone with a VISA, MC or Discover.

Shipments within Illinois are required to pay 6.5% Illinois sales tax.

All eBay items are eligible for pick up at our store; 270 E Jackson St Seneca, IL 61360


International Buyers- Please Note:

Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.

We ship export shipments via USPS only. We ship Priority Mail only. Please note transit times for 1st class can be over 3 to 4 weeks so we prefer not to use 1st class mail. You will be Provided with a tracking number and proof that we mailed it, but we can not be responsible for any item after it leaves the United States.

We pride ourselves on warm friendly customer service, and a honest, personal approach to doing business. Look at our feedback, and rest assured you are dealing with solid, knowledgeable company!

Icon21 Not the FFR stuff

I haven't had a lot of luck with the FFR bulb seal. My car is indoors still in go cart. The bulb is seperating from the mounting surface en masse. It's easy to reattach with some silicon but shouldn't have too!

Try Soft Seal. They have a big catalog and I have used their products on my '32 and my Coupe.

x2 on McMaster. Great source for bulb seal plus a bunch of other specialty items.

To Np630ss, first I've heard of that. It is possible to damage it, e.g. when taking the body on/off, especially on the trunk side panels. But if it's separating for no apparent reason, something doesn't sound right. Personally, I wouldn't be satisfied to just glue it back in place. If you think it's really defective, call FFR. At the very least, buy new and replace. The build is worth it.
