356A coupe door seals leading edge & rear of door

#1 Post by Joe Maule »

So for my 356A, I use the same seal for the leading edge and the back of door but the bottom gets nothing correct? Door panel seal M47 from International Mercantile.

Joe,
My research for our '58 Speedster shows that the leading and trailing edge of the door get the same rubber seal.
