205 Gti Parts - Help

[rachel_kgr]

Hi can anyone advise me where to get the following parts at a good price:

These are for a 1989 1.9 205 Gti

1) Central locking unit (drivers side)

2) Drivers side rear window seal (The light grey one, not dark charcol)

Thanks

Best bet for the first one is secondhand - I sold one last year for £10.

For the rear window rubbers I paid €55 each for these a few years back from a main dealer in France.

Thanks Simes.....I have repaired the motor soooooo many times (you can break it open), but this time it has had it!!..

The Car is filling up with water, so working through all the various 205 Submarine issues. The rear window seal is the most likely for the worst leak

Second-hand seals are a waste of time, as they shrink over time. New ones are prohibitively expensive. Best to just get a big tube of black sealent and work your way round all the seals. Door seals don't shrink as badly as the window ones.

Thanks Guys....

Today I took the Central Locking motor apart again...think I have fixed it this time!!

Leaks:

Checked Sun Roof Draining - Nope
Checked Heater Matrix - Nope
Checked Sills - Nope
Rear Light Seals and Hatch Seal - Nope

Rear Window Seals - Some Minor trickles - One seal I will strech and seal with silicone the other has broken so am trying to source a new one.

The other leak came from a join under the drivers seat where the seam of the cross member joins the side of the car....go figure...that was running into the drivers footwell!!! Which is why I thought I had a leak at the front.!!!

I have had every other hole under the car plated!!!


Fingers crossed.....

Thanks as always!!!
