Hey all! Where is the best place to get a good quality rubber set for my 69 bug and how much am I looking to pay?

I am in the Brissie area.

Thanks!

Give Vintage Vee Dub a call 02-9789-1777 in Sydney, they can ship it to you.

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

If you mean the window rubbers that hold the actual window glass in, I got a complete set from www.classicveedub.com.au for $120. They were West Coast Metric reproductions. Great quality

That looks like a good price for west coast metric rubbers

You have to beware of bad Brazillian or even worse Mexican rubbers.... they can split in a few months....
There are some good VW products from Brazil, but finding them is like a needle in a haystack.... a lot of bad stuff..too
A LOT.... If they branded everything... We could go by brand..

Ok, so basically I have to go with WCM rubbers, I think that would be a safe bet because I want to keep this bug for years.

I bought WCM from VVWS in 1990.. still perfect except for the number plate light/lid rubber and headlight-to-bucket seals which have bothe perished. Cost me $500 then, I think, including door seals...
