new window seals or gaskets for a 2005?

[goTDIcandy]

Hi! My 2005 Golf's window seals (or gaskets) are shrinking. Does anyone know where I can get rear & front window seals? I'd rather not go to the dealer. Are they easy to install? Would they be the same for a 2002 Golf?
I looked in the search forums.
Thank you!

same issue with my 01 Golf. Worst rubber seals I have ever seen, ice sticks to them like glue rendering the window useless and sometimes detaching it from the holding clips.

I need to replace all four door seals in my Golf, did I mention one door set has already been replaced under warranty when the car was a year old ?

and yes, they are the same seals as an 02

Hi Dimitri! - Yeah - my H's car is an '02 TDI and the seals're cracking. The seals in my car are shrinking.
Either way we need to find replacements!
Can anyone help us? Please?

try www.1stvwparts.com

installing the seals seems a bit involved according to my Bentley

Yikes - I got a reply from VWParts - the four seals cost $556, I think we'll wait a while.
Thanks.

better luck at a junk yard , no guarantees if they will stay intact during removal though
