Where can I get good door seal rubbers for a 64 beetle the ones that are in the car (from when I bought it) are obviously new and are as near to worthless as you would get -- so I'm a bit wary of just ordering another set blind--is there an aftermarket product from someone --like maybe Clark Rubber that sells it by the mile thats good or better a particular type that actualy work- gratefull for any advise here,
Cheers ,

Thanks mate,
I have no problem locating the rubbers what I'm more concerned about is getting another new set and them being no better than the rubbish I've got in ATM,
Cheers,
Al.

I have recently bought a set over the net from Classic Veedub Supplies (German manufactured) and they fitted perfectly.

Thanks mate,

Just a quicky--do the ones you've got give a good door to body seal--this is the prob I have with the ones I've got--perfect fit in the door but absolutely awfull sealing.-A.

Hi Al.
Wolfsburg automotive in Victoria have many rubber products made to their specifications
so they are TOP quality...

I have a brazillian door rubber on one side and its OK although when i had roof racks on
the rubber broke off where it touched the roof rack
bracket
the old German rubber didn't break off....

Best of Luck
