body and interior Walloth and Nesch glass and door seals

Hi there

I'm looking at hoarding all the screen and door seals whilst I get on with the bodywork on my 02. Has anyone bought any of their seals? Particularly the door ones?

Any input appreciated

Cheers

Dean  There are only a couple choices for door seals  OE and URO and price will dictate which is which. W&N does a good job.

Lots of info on both OE seals and URO . Id suggest searching and reading as much as you can to make an informed decision. Note that BMW has redesigned their door seals about a year ago to include a hollow top cross section. So take that into concern when looking at the date of the posts you find

I would highly reccomend staying away from the URO door seals. They are stiffer than original and make closing a door a slamming affair. I have them and have haited them from the beginning. My plan is to get some of the newer OE seals when I get around to it.

I'd be very interested as well in people's experiences Dean.

I am close to deciding on a full resto on my '73 and these will obviously be on the parts list.

I have got to be honest, I have had nothing but success with W&N, Jaymic, etc over the last 10 years ... except ...

The door seals I sourced from W&N for an E3 restoration were disappointing. They were made up of many glued together profiles and came apart with just a little stress of fitting.

Fortunately a friend runs a auto upholstery shop and sold me some Wurth rubber glue and my wife and I carefully re-glue them. One of them ended up in like 10 sections prior to re-glueing!

Now I have to say for the amount of shipments of stuff I have from W&N over the years they have been superb on product and delivery (to Australia).

However quite interested in the experience of '02ers with their seals.

Cheers

The new OE BMW door seals are really nice.

The URO BMW 2002 seals are junk, plain and simple.

This is truly a place to spend your money. You won't regret it.

I've experienced the URO windshield seal. It works, although it is slightly different in design than OEM, so the edges do not cover the same area.

I haven't heard anything good about URO door seals.
