I am putting together a group buy for new Thing Body trim. This is the trim that covers the doorways and goes around the circumference of the Thing. The "kit" will include enough material to also redo the rear lip of the hard top and the top of all four doors. Like the other rubber seal group buys I put together, this material is 21st century and of the highest quality. I will post a picture of a sample of the trim material on Samba as soon as it arrives. The trim is a super flexible PVC (temp range -20 - +150° F. The outer PVC coating has a hardness of 80 Durometer (shore A) with a PVC covered metal (steel) clip interior to provide a permanent grip. The seal measure the exact same as the original 9/16" tall x 1/8" gap. The trim will be matte black and the texture will be basket weave that is the same color and texture as the original seals. Each kit will contain 50' of the trim material. The kit will also include "D" shaped adhesive seals that go over the top edges of the door posts just like the original trim had. Each kit will weigh 6 lbs so shipping via priority mail is $11.60 (This is $2 less than UPS and arrives in 2 days and they provide us with the boxes and shipping labels.
So, the entire cost of the kits including shipping will be $55 If you want insurance it is an extra $1.30 for $50 insurance value.
As soon as i get the samples and confirm that they fit perfectly and match the original trim as well as I think they do I will have the trim molded (that takes 4 business days). They ship the trim to me. I put the kits together, box em and ship em.. So send me either $55 (no insurance shipped at your risk) or send me $56.30 and I will get your kit to you as detailed above. I prefer paypal sent to <stswest@att.net> but checks or other payment is also fine. However it works best for each of you. If you are interested in this group buy, send me your shipping address to stswest@att.net . Pmail me if you have questions or are interested. K-mann
