Hey, rational manufacturer?  Hee-Hee, Ho-Ho, Haw-Haw, please.........We're
talking about OE manufacturers/suppliers in Europe who don't give the spit
off a gnat's butt about supplying replacement parts for Bugs (even Puebla
model repl parts are already gettin' trashed), Splittie Buses, Bay Windows,
etc., much less 15 to 26 year old Vanagons.  A  Vanagon sunroof seal that
costs roughly $200 from either VAG or Bus Depot (not BD's or the Dealer's
fault, they're at the mfr mercy) is what's obscene.


John, yer killin' me :-D

Really? Broken from what? Hitting things? I couldn't say, myself. I've never
broken a mirror. And even so, if the demand is high, wouldn't any rational
manufacturer notice and increase supply to match?
