hi i need to replace the outer scrapper rubber on my bug and my trims are pefect condition s/s ones seems a waste to just throw them out for cheap alloy ones does anyone know if or where i can by just the rubber or has some made there own and what have you used
cheers jason

Do you need both sides,what year model ???

hi yes i need both sides its for a 59 bug

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.

As per above, much better!

Normally kombi seals are available separate, as above, just cut them down in length.

thanks guys i will have a try at some of your ideas

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

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 ??

I have the drivers side and need a passenger side
