Also, any clever You should know that there are two kinds of seals for the front doors: German and Brazilian. There is a difference in quality: the German seals fit better and do a better job of sealing out air and water. There may also be a difference in longevity. David Schwarze told me that his Brazilian ones were starting to tear at the corners after only 2 years. The upper back and lower front corners of the doors are left empty with the Brazilian rubber. However, German seals are about 4 times more expensive ($81 vs. $19 at most places). The final decision rests with you. It depends on how rich you are and how long you plan to keep your bus. I got the Brazilian ones because I didn't believe the sales guy. The price difference is huge. I figured I could always buy the German ones, once I'm rich and famous.:) Sami -- Sami Dakhlia Dept. of Economics Washington-University-in-St.Louis dakhlia@wuecona.wustl.edu
