hey does anyone know where i can get some window seals for my type 3?
am having real trouble trying to get a hold of any and meanwhile my speakers are dripping water and the bottom of my doors are getting cancer.
does anyone know if i can just get some kombi ones and cut them to size?
thanks, thorun

Have you tried Micks Motors yet

yep, they don't have em, they never have anything i need for the type 3
(very annoying because my brother always sends me over there to get stuff for his beetle and they ALWAYS have the stuff he wants)

Type 3 outer window scrappers are not available anywhere

Vintage in Sydney has Kombi ones that you have to cut down to size and rivet onto the metal section.

This is the only option. Better off if you have another set of scrappers to play around with.

Are they available OS either US or England.
Since getting my Notch I'm also getting frustrated with the lack of type 3 stuff.

There are ways around the lack of stuff for type 3's.

Like dave said....

As for the bottom of the doors...

there should be drainage and a quick clean will get the water out.

yeah right, okay thanks - will give the kombi ones a go i reckon.
yeah kafer the lack of type 3 bits available is frustrating...but i guess its the price you pay for style (can i say that without sounding like an arrogant f*%k???)

No chief types 3's rule I own 2, 72 Fastbacks, they are way cool, style is what it is about

NO nothing available other wise it would be here in Aussie.

Just like type 3 1/4 vent rubbers not available.

This is due to demand. If theres no market, then no one in the UK or USA wants to spend the money to make the dies n molds to do the parts.
