Used should be a great option, especially if you can find a set from a 924S, as they have a slightly upgraded design and a much more positive seal around the door frame. A little bit of GooGone and Mother's Back to Black (applied in that order) will do an amazing job of dressing up old seals. I just went through this process on the 941. I still need to apply some adhesive, but just haven't gotten around to it yet.

| Ok used it is since I'm not planning on replacine the passenger side maybe used is the best option. I've got a 931 but I don't imagine model would matter regarding door rubber. Grenadiers let me know what you're thinking $$ |

The door rubber is all pretty much interchangeable...I was just point out that the 924S has an improved design over the earlier seals, with the added benefit that the seals will be at least 5 years newer than the newest 924/931, and much more likely to be in good condition. But you can still use seals from essentially any 924/931/924S/944.
