i currently have the window rubbers with the metal trim in them.
the rubbers need replacing, can i still use the old trim in the new rubbers or do i have to replace both?????
You can use the originals..
so long as you don't buy Cal Look rubbers...
these have no grooves for the aluminium strips...
Late beetles had a chromed plastic strip...
I saw these in a USA website yesterday and they cost
$25US per window.. $100 a car.... Yikes..
I still have all My aluminium strips, I always thought they were too hard to fit..
but My Son says they are easy....

Fitting the trim to theglass n rubbers is a differnt matter takes time and paitance
cool guys thanks ill order some new ones and get a glass guy 2 do it. i dont have patience. ha...
you have to fit the rubber to the glass then the trim to the rubber then the assy into the car
yes takes a bit of stuff around I like doing them especially the stainless trims the alloy trims bend so easy you can stuff them just by looking the wrong way 🤪 but time and patience is the order
