    That is the “superseded” part number. It’s not even close to the original. But that’s what all the vendors sell now apparently. I guess it can work kind of, but hey, you can probably put mustang wheels on the car too ya know? Problem is the originals have a flap of rubber that you lift up and rivet underneath to the door panel. These just have the felt part and an extension. So you not only have to make new holes, but it won’t bend around the 1/4 window frame correctly, and it doesn’t have the rubber lip on the inside to sit nicely on the door panel so you’ll have a gap there. It’s just not right. I compare it to something Temu would send you.

    That seal you have in the middle, is that what came off of your car? Is that original? In that case, what I have in mine is not original (seems much more likely it is) and the superseded part actually is correct?

    I only use TEMU & Pep Boys parts on my car. The occasional duct tape and zip tie too. Not sure why you are taking direct offence about asking questions. Perhaps you should be more concerned that our vendors are selling parts that don't work / don't fit / are incorrect.

    The seal you show is 100% wrong for the 328 GTS. Maybe its correct for the 76 GTB, but its certainly not for the 328 GTS even though they all list it as such. Again, the ones on my 1987 328 GTS that came off are nice, molded rubber pieces as described and shown above. And it appears they will be getting re-used. I'll get some better pics to show the fitment.

    See how the seal has a nice rubber lip to sit on the door panel. That doesn’t exist with the what I’ll call aftermarket parts. (Certainly not a supersession).

    Here is the correct inner window sweep seal. Superperformance sells them, but are currently out of stock. They source CORRECT reproductions from a mfg. Not the Temu seal other vendors are selling that is 100% wrong. Unfortunately, the aftermarket Temu seals somehow share the same part number. So, anyone trying to get the correct seal, I would start with superperformance. From there I would message who you’re buying from and get pictures of the seal they will physically send you.

    correct seal

    Boy...you sure have got your panties in a wad!!:p

    What you are calling "aftermarket Temu seals" or "Incorrect aftermarket “superseded” seal" are the correct window seals for early 308's as 85QVEuro said previously.;)

    Glad you were able to finally find the exact seal you were looking for:D

    Rightfully so. It’s weird to me that you cannot understand my frustration. All the vendors sell that seal, for the 328. It’s wrong. Yea, my panties are in a wad. I go through this process with almost every single part I try to buy. It’s extremely frustrating. Hopefully in the future people can search window sweep 328 and save theirselves a lot of time and frustration. That’s one of my goals throughout this process and one reason I’m documenting it all. I enjoy doing this and take pride in my work. I wish the vendors would do the same.
