Purchase Fender Seal?
I need to replace all the body panel seals in my cab. Does anyone know a place to buy these seals in bulk strip rather than a piece at a time? I am just looking at doing the seals now because of an old (bad) respray from a PO and didn't want to spend a fortune on it. I am sure that I could cut to fit if they were available. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you talking about the fender welting at the cowl? There's only a couple of feet involved, how ould buying that in one piece save much money? If you're talking about the putty at the seem along the fender to nose and inner fender, I've been trying to find out about that as well.

The fender packing is also know as Terostat ribbon 2mm thick x 25mm wide, sold by the meter; the Porsche part number is 00004312900 or Pelican U-043-129-00. Pelican lists it for $27.75. When I ordered it from the Porsche parts system I recieved a roll which was significantly more than a meter in length; plenty to do a car maybe enough for two cars. Jim

Jim, you are awesome! I just pulled this stuff off my car while the qtr windows were out and couldn't find the replacement on Pelican. I was starting to get a little worried. Thanks for the info!

I listed the fender seal putty between the front fenders and the body (or wheelcase in the Porsche terminology). For the rear quarter vent window felt lined profiles I only have the Porsche part numbers: 901.543.903.20 and 901.543.423.00. Two of each number are required (one of each for each side). Jim

Seems to be the same stuff used under the black aluminum strips under the quarter windows. Guess its also fender seal putty, too.

Okay, the Terostat ribbon putty should work there too. You may have to adust it's width by trimming. The black duct seal ribbon used to seal automotive A/C condensers is also workable for this application (between the quarter window bottom trim and body). Jim
