Hi
Can anyone tell me how long the body to pan seal is in length? Volkspares is out of stock and Pro Auto Rubber sells it per meter.

Is it just a bitumen type of tape? If so,I can source it for you,probably alot cheaper than Volkspares

No, its a moulded rubber. My guess would be 9 meters.

Hi I dont use the stock VW type rubber but rather some closed cell foam tape frome your hardware store. I did a rough measurement and think 7m should be enough they come in 5m rolls so 2 should suffice buy 10mm x 40mm or 50mm with the sticky side to the pan.
We removed a pan after 13 years and this foam strip was like new

There a synthetic rubber used in the roofing industry at a fair price,and it was designed for this app.
