    Seals?

    Well it is now time to order seals for my 67S as painting is complete. I am looking to order mostly all new seals from either Stoddard or Sierra Madre Collection. I have heard good things about Stoddard but nothing yet on Sierra. Sierra claims that they carry OEM Porsche (that just recently became available) and Stoddard makes their own to their standards. I can get every single seal in one package from Sierra at a much better price, but I am concerend with quality and not having to return and go back and forth. There is a seal package available from Parts Heaven for even less also. All companies have decent return policies. Saving $ is nice! . What experience has anyone had with any of these companies and or seals purchased from any of these?

    My experience is you have a much higher chance of a good fit if the bag says Porsche on it.

    Seals?

    Add one more to Tom F's reply. You haven't lived until you've tried to get the hood to seal correctly on a aftermarket seal.

    rubber body seals

    My body shop was not concerned where I got the body seals. But they told me that the front and back window seals had to be Porsche stock. So they ordered them from the dealer. I think they were 1978-1983 SC parts. Good luck on the paint job. Chris Early S reg. 205

    If it's still available form Porsche get them from the dealer. Use your PCA discount. Most all of them are.
