Door Rubber has not been posted and although I know of one supplier, Bernardo at OEM alternatives, my past experience keeps me from wanting to give him my business.
I may have an alternative but I need help. This is rubber purchased by a PO (thanks Brockoir.) from Scott's Old Rubbers (hehe) #260.006. :
This is what he also had and mentioned VW I recall. I do not have time to research for a few days (Get it on Sleepyzzz) ......The push clips could be clipped off or used if you drill .:
This is from SOAR also, it is the doors (all doors I think) bottom seal.:
Info overload but here is the outside widow to door seal too FYI.:

Wow, his reputation precedes him. I've kept quiet because I know how powerful a review can be, but let's say I had significant issues with him as well and won't be getting parts from him again either.
Dave - the rubber with the push tabs on it is probably for the lower edge of the front door openings. The rubber that goes there is actually different from the rubber that goes around the rest of the door. The lower piece is actually held in place with screws, or those push clips. It is a little different than the one in your picture because the original has a flap that goes over the mounting screws. I'll try to get a pic later.
Ha!! Just reading this post and I too had issues with oem_alternatives. They guy lives not too far from me and after I told him that if he didn't correct the problem he blocked me from buying from him on ebay!! So I'm glad to see that a lot of other people are not giving him their business.
I just placed an order from Scott's Old Rubber for door, windshield, and rear window rubber and a few other things. He doesn't have the side window rubber, and I have no idea where to try next for that. Anyway, I found Scott to be very helpful, patient, and informative during the pre-order process of my questions via several emails. His website and catalog are very easy to navigate. I am optimistic and look forward in the near future to being able to post that I am really happy with the products I've ordered.

I am interested in your review of the product and service. He's been around for a while, and many Patrollers have used him.
Scott's won't carry the side sliding window rubber because the Aussie's didn't get the hard top down under, so they wouldn't have a need for them. There was a group buy of the rubber a few months ago, and there might be a few left. Here is the link: http://www.60patrol.com/forum/viewtopic ... ber#p19033
When we did the group buy on side sliding window rubber, Alex (The gal who has the dye for manufacturing the rubber)purchased 2 sets to sell on ebay. I don't remember ever seing them on there but doesn't mean they didn't allready sell, but could be possible there still out there.
