I would say they are great. Better then OEM.
I'll let Mike say where's best. |

They are not as expensive as the factory ones. But they are also not the same as the factory seals.

I have recently replaced nearly all the rubber in my 75 with Mark's mouldings and would have to say they were A1. Easy to fit and seem to do the job just fine.

Would also add for overseas buyers that Mark sends them quickly and cost effectively. Freight charges were realistic.

I have purchased quite a few items from Mark including rubber seals and have been more than happy with everything I've purchased. Mark is a great guy too and a pleasure to do business with. I'm sure there is agreement from all his cusotmers you'll find here on 914 World.

And he's not a bad guy to have lunch with either... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)
I've got just about everything Mark makes on my car with the exception of the Saratoga top reproduction. My wife doesn't want me getting that much sun! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Trust me on this, if Mark isn't happy with it. It isn't for sale. |

I agree, Mark is the go to guy. 914Rubber.com
I have a complete seal kit from him, light grills, center console, etc. I would use him first for all his advertised products. John |

+1 for Mark. On top of obliterating the prices that other *ahem* vendors sell their stuff for, the quality is fantastic, he almost always gives you "extra" length so you can cut to fit, and he works with your budget, which was very important for me.

He makes a great product & on average sells it to cheap. How the guy makes any money I don't know. It's got to be one of his other jobs that does it. All the R & D get's spendy. Mark is a great addition to our community & in making parts for our cars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . Keep it up my friend but don't keep taking it in the shorts on some of your projects. All of us are realistic & are willing to pay for quality products. Which you make so make sure you cover yourself. We want you around making these parts for a long time. Make it profitable as well as a labor of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Mark makes nice stuff, prices are certainly reasonable, and he gets it on the way promptly. And he is happy to talk to you.
If you are doing a major restoration, don't buy piece meal like I did, bite the bullet and get his combination kit. Walter Olin |

I was thinking of buying the AA kit for replacing all the rubber, and remembered this thread. Just placed an order for the 914rubber kit instead.
