Rebuilding Beetle Doors- Is WCM Still the Best
hulbyw - May 25th, 2014 at 08:54 PM

Years ago, West Coast Metric was the stuff to use when replacing rubber seals and aluminium door window trims. Nowadays there are endless choices. Is WCM still up there?
Cheers.....Wayne

do you guys know if the 68 beetle rubbers from WCM online i.e. US rubbers will fit an Aus 68?

Looking at the complete door kits and window rubbers

Cheers Chris

Chris how did you get on here I need replacement rubbers all through my 69

As far as I know, WCM stuff is stocked by Vintage VW in NSW so I am unsure why you would want to pay shipping from the USA. Buying in OZ means you get what you need and if there are any hassles, you can get them sorted. BTW, I have no affiliation with VVW

I used WCM rubbers on my door quarter windows when I painted my bug and they still look brand new after almost 15 years.

Aussie Dubbin, sorry in delay getting back to you,

I did an order of all my rubbers for the doors and body through CIP1, buying german were I could, very happy with fit and softness

glass rubbers I brought WCM from vintage vee dub, also very good fit and soft

I asked around a lot in the US about rubbers and the general consensus is that Wolfsburg west are superior now. Heard many stories about window rubbers being hung in trees for years to see how they age.

I hear very little in the way of WCM and type 3s on the other hand.

Heard wolfsburg is good.
