Spotted a small damp patch by the driver side footwell and suspect the door seal. Anyone replaced the 993 door seal with a 964 part?

Others have done this with success. The 964 part is much less money. It's a different design/look than the 993 part. I don't believe I've actually seen a picture to judge how it looks though.

Door seal repair – If you notice that the door seals on your car look worn where you foot passes over the threshold there is an inexpensive fix. The replacement 993 specific seal is staggeringly expensive and some find using the 964 seal can make for a tight door fit. For $50 you can buy a door seal made to fit an earlier 1984 to 1988 Carreras. You can cut a section out of it as a donor to replace the worn section on your 993’s seal. The profile is the same, the finish differs slightly, no biggie. One seal is long enough for several repair jobs. If you have a concern about joining new to old you can use a small section of vacuum or fish tank air hose slipped into the joined ends to make the mating look perfect.

I noticed this a few weeks ago. Who knows but for $36.00 it may work for piecing a repair. I've purchased some non porsche parts from here before.

Thank you so much for the help. I will replace both sides with the 964 part.
