I actually think these are upto G Reg - just one of them oddities - chap who visited my yard knew straight off the bat they existed - late ones seems to fit all models so it’s possible yours may have been swapped out also .

Im not sure chap I think everybody says early and late but  other parts were fazed out before a facelift- a good example of this is F/ g reg cars that have many Mk2 191 numbers. I think these roof seals are very early cars - that's why I put a picture to show the difference so they buyer could compare and if they had the same type they knew they was good.

Does it really make a difference if the late seals fit both early and late cars? I doubt anyone will be checking to see if they are the correct ones on the few cars that had them.Obviously in terms of the eBay fiasco it makes a huge difference to you, especially as the seller looks to have damaged them.

Early seals do not fit late cars but late seals seem to fit all - be good to see if anyone else has got these early seals please post if you have- Ive only seen G reg cars so far.

There was a VW Heritage blog article bout the remanufacture of the roof seals and how they had to hunt down the machine tools and extruders and I think it mentioned that they changed tooling during the lifetime of the Corrado as the molds wear out - that might explain the difference. I can't see the roof section anf gutters being different.

I think the early seals are shorter it could be the welded locating tab is in a different place - im not sure.

AS expected Ebay sided with the Buyer as just see them as damaged. Not sure if the buyer is on here but his name is Chris Pursglove . Avoid like the bionic plague at all costs man showed his true colours. They are been returned in the post as we speak. 

Here is his late body car .

He's wrongun alright. I cannot for the life of me see how the parts were broken, and ended up looking like late parts in my eyes may I add, given the packaging and they are not exactly easy to snap off like that. You'd have to use something like pliers to break them - if they were damaged in transit the whole package would have been crushed length ways and even then the flexibility of the entire moulding would have just bent with the packaging - i don't believe for a second it was done in transit thinking about it logically. So if that had happened then it would be obvious on delivery that the package was well battered and something might be up - which don't correlate with the 12 days he took to tell you.

Thanks for all the support everyone , I will post some pics when I get them back- hopefully none of the parts like the rear bits and the sliding clips are missing as that will be a comprehensive piss take on every level lol.

Here you  can see for yourself everything early on his car he said  . First email 2 weeks after delivery . Plain as ice no returns if wrong part ordered- tried to fit or mod- or vandalised to get money back . If he had just checked his seals with the informative picture i placed with advert he would not of wrecked such a damn rare set of seals the ........ !   Surely the first email would just mention the damage aye not a little sentence at the bottom if was true and mainly concentrated on fitment . Dread to think who the corrado specialist is as well ha.

Just read this and i never knew there was a difference - vw must have changed manufacturer which possibly explains the difference

Arrived home today . Has been some tinkering can see fresh glue on the end - I saw the fresh glaze of glue so pulled one off - will keep these as spare still some good parts on them - didn’t realise these ends could be pulled away - I knew the other bits come away the other side of the seal . 
 

new and  old comparison look same length for locating tabs .
