I used a universal rubber from mick motors and trimmed the length to fit the beetle window. I reused original chrome trim as the after market part is just crap. I then spent several hours installing them with tiny bolts and nuts. I riveted the rubber to the trim then held it all in with the bolts.

yeah i got trims complete with rubbers then dismantled the rubbers and fitted them to the original chrome.
Normally kombi seals are available separate, as above, just cut them down in length.

Kombi seals work the best

So the repro items are no good ??? Damn... I am missing a L/H chrome bit 🙁 Another thing to add to my list 🙁

You can purchase the complete trim and rubber assy from VVDS 02-9789-1777 best quality
yes the repro ones are good save the origional clips as you will need them
thye only come in alloy trim not the staino ones like on 63 to 67 bugs
what year is your car
Giddyarp ·
Mine is a 64... No clips either.. whole piece was removed and lost by previous owner along with a whole lotta other bits and pieces 🙁

64 should have Stainless steel trims and will take the Kombi rubber easy
You need clips and rivits to attach the rubber

I need to replace the stainless bit as well as the seal and clips. Unless I track down a S/H stainless one in my travels while the resto progresses 🙂

Call VVDs they may have a good S/H Stainlees one and the rubbers which side do u have ??
Giddyarp ·
I have the drivers side and need a passenger side 🙂
