Making repeated repairs on classic cars a thing of the past
Hamburg-based Wulf Gaertner Autoparts AG also offers MEYLE premium-qualityreplacement partsfor vintage andlater modelclassic cars - Door seals for Mercedes Benz models -perfect fit guaranteed
Hamburg, 30th June 2010. Vintageand later classic automobilesstand for individuality and a certain way of life.In addition, they willincrease in value. Any owner of a classic car is anxious to keep it inexcellentcondition. But the devil’s in the details. Door weatherstrips, for example, are a case in point. It is the nature of rubber seals to become porous and lose volume within 8 to 10 years depending on the weather conditions they are exposed to, like rain, frost or extreme heat. This is why it is so important to check and replace these on cars used beyond their average service life. The ultimate requirementfor the replacement seals isto have a precise fit - a demand fully met bythe MEYLE door seals from Wulf Gaertner Autoparts AG, offered by MEYLE UK. Thanks to their outstandingdesign and specifications MEYLE parts are a viable alternative to originalequipment components.
Seals are made froma precise mixture of rubber, which over the years, inevitably becomes porous. Along with their decrease in volume, the sealing efficiency deteriorates and moisture can get into the cabin. Replacing door weatherseals must not be put off. Older cars especially require efficient sealing of the cabin as the body panelling provides poor anti-corrosion protection compared to modern standards. If moisture enters the cabin it is likely to corrode the sheet metal at spots difficult to examine, such as under the carfloor mats or beneath the interior trim. In most cases it is not until rust can be seen from the outside thatowners become aware of severe body panel corrosion. Wulf Gaertner Autoparts AG offers door weatherseals with guaranteed accuracy of fit for a wide range of popular vintage andlate modelclassic carsto includethe Mercedes Benz W113, W114, W115 and W123 models. Thanks to its individual design the sealing frame, four to five metres in length, fits precisely on the body - andwill insure ease of installation.
In addition tothe MEYLE door seals, MEYLE UK offers seals for other body parts including windscreen, rear window and bonnet seals for a wide variety of vintage andlater classic models. Also in the classic car segment car drivers benefit from the engineering expertise in the development of MEYLE- HD parts for state-of-the-art cars. HD parts are technically refined components engineered to increase part durability. Replacement parts for vintageand later classic vehiclesmust meet particularly stringent demands, for exampleto withstand higher engine vibration levels.Numerous repairsto the same component can change inner diameters and lead to an inaccurate fit (play). Accurate fit can only be guaranteed by using over-sized replacement parts. for example an over-sized ball jointproduced for the VW T2 Transporter/Bus model from the MEYLEproduction range.
