I think I remember reading somewhere that a 1968-70 front and 1976 (L-Bug) rear screen rubber is the same length; same component. Does anyone know? If so, it will make finding a rear screen rubber for an L-Bug very easy!!

no there not the same

the 68 70 front rubber is the same as a 76 front and a 76 is not a L bug

the rears are total different again

All the rubber are available in either Cal or Origional with the groove

Which rubber do you need and what year model

Vintage have all in stock 9789-1777

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Ok, maybe I should have written '76/L-bug' not '76 (L-Bug)'. I believe the rear window size was larger for L-bug - & '76 - than '68 (1500) and I think the rubber for the larger rear glass is the same length as '68 (...err, 1500!... & '76!) front...

I have a stack of Cal rubbers here and I am trying to get them all into 'car sets' for future projects etc
