Jeff,

Thanks for the lead. I will try them.

I am glad you didn't say it make the Airstream James Cook at $80k a steal. Well I calculated what my 89 Westy costed me back in 1989 but in 2004's dollar the other day. It worked out to be about $40k.

total about $850 list price. They will not give a discount.

Does anyone know of a dealer that will sell at a discount and will ship out of state?

Shazam! $850? Suddenly the VW Phaeton looks like a steal at $80K.

Having said that I admire your eye for detail. And while I have an aftermarket seal which works very well, I know in my heart it's not VWOA.

Camelback VW in Arizona--I can't remember exactly where--has shipped to me at a discount. Let them know you're list member and ask for the list discount. I think they charge you 10% over cost.
