It just depends on if you want to put the chrome plastic piece back.  These
were stock for Vanagons from 80-87.  After 88 the seals were just black
with no groove.  You can use either, but if you buy the one with the groove
then you should also buy a new plastic/chrome trim piece, to go back with
it.  Does that help?
