Best rubber sources these days
« on: November 28, 2019, 21:41:44 »
I need to reseal the doors and windshields on a couple 113s and a 109. Anyone have an opinion of the best quality/price sources these days?

Trojan is a specific brand of rubber, not directly related to cars. But, at their factory, many children can be observed due to their "we take back defects" policy.
