I installed these seals years ago on my '74 Spit, and they're still
holding up very well. I bought them from TRF, and they weren't cheap,
but they're very well made and they fit perfectly. I still have an odd
foot or two of the seal left, and I measured the depth of the "jaws" on
the seal that grab hold of the door flange and found it to be 3/4 inch.
