After decades of sun the rubber shrinks and hardens, water runs between the glass and the rubber and drips onto the rear seat shelf and the battery under the rear seat, where it rusts the floor and the battery tray. Replacing the seal when the car is painted or the glass is out stops the leak and makes the trim sit straight again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJP Group is a Danish maker of replacement parts for classic Volkswagens and Porsches, sold under the JP Group, Dansk and Classic names, with EMPI as its US distributor.
