        I attempted to order a set back in September. After almost 8 weeks of no parts delivered I had to file a PayPal claim and get a refund. Unfortunate since I'd have much preferred to get the door seals!

              This was a much better deal then the OEM ones and they were OEM fit. I ordered one OEM and then when I needed a second I got this one, you cant tell the difference and its was like $100 cheaper.

                  Trust me, I'm the last one to "cheap out" on parts.

                  Current price from BMW is $330 per side. A bit high...

                    So the guy no longer makes them ? Anyone know where he is ? I tried to email him. No reply. Wondering if these could be ordered somewhere as a group buy.....

                        This explains why I never heard back.


                        I have mine installed since July and overall they work well. Fit properly, seal well, etc. One annoying thing about them is the rubber appears to be pretty stiff. I have to really slam the doors to get them to shut, and it's pretty common for me to take a few stabs at it before the door fully latches. To help remedy it, I loosened the two Torx bolts on each door catch slightly. This decreased the closing effort somewhat (not as much as I'd like), but the doors now sit slightly proud from the body.

                        Does anyone have any ideas about how to remedy this?

                          In my expirence, with new door seals, on every car I have put them on, what you are expirencing, I have as well. Takes time for them to seat I guess.

                            Door selas

                            Sorry for the lack of responses here, we have been working to bring these seals back for the e30 community. Another production run is currently under way for the coupe door seals, we are hoping to have them back in stock by mid March. We currently have sedan seals in stock, ready to ship. Best to reach us by email as we are not able to surf the forums as much as we would like. Sales@VintageAutobahn.com

                              Will you be doing a group buy for the seals?
