Yes, approximately 12' for a coupe door. I was rather pleased with myself when I estimated it at 12' just by visualizing it then measured it and found I was very close, it is just over 12' measured linearly. I'll be ordering the 25' length and doing my door seals. What a difference that will make in wind noise and spider intrusion in my garage.Last edited by varg; 09-04-2020, 04:18 PM.

Hey guys, I work in the sealing industry. US manufacturers of this type of seal include Trim Lok and Clean Seal. These are the companies who are supplying people like McMaster and Amazon. The minimum order quantity is high (usually a full spool is required) but if enough people get in on a group buy, the cost could be split up easily. See below:
Our push-on rubber edge trim seals are ideal for boat hatch seals, RV compartments, door seals & more. Customize your rubber trim seal with Trim-Lok.
You would still be on your own for splicing and joining the corners together. Any rubber-based RTV adhesive should do the trick.

How are the amazon seals holding up for everyone so far? I see some comments about the doors being hard to close, have they eventually taken a set with some use?
My coupe needs door seals badly and this looks to be a great option...I just can't wrap my head around the price of the OE seals.

Thanks for the feedback. Too bad the Amazon material is causing some problems with the doors closing...likely this is not helping with the leaking. I ordered some of this material to measure it against the OE seal and check fitment.
The Turkish seals may end up being the best option even though the corner looks goofy. It would really be nice if URO could make a re-pop of these with all the right details.

In a previous series of posts, Narsiyousf indicated good results with the Amazon seals and also mentions adding the vent holes for proper performance. The installed pics in those posts make me hopeful these really do work with the proper install techniques....the good news is that it is a fairly cheap experiment....more time than $$$.

It's about cost, OEM seals can set you back $700-1k+ for coupe or sedan.

Basically, what are the main differences between the after market and OEM seals? is it the quality/size of the rubber or the "plug and play" fitment?
