Front windscreen rubbers

Hey Pals.

Nearly got the early square rego'd.... Just a quick question as to where you get new front window rubbers from, also I know it is a long shot but i need some rubbers for side pop outs, and rear boot lid.

I have found ISPWEST VWPARTS on ebay that sells them, has anyone had any experience with this company?

Cheers.

Liam, I saw the description and I think photo of the side popout rubbers and they look quite flexible to me so not sure what there like. Have not taken the gamble to order. I have 2 sets of popouts, one with reasonable rubbers and others stuffed so want to find a set as well.

Let us know if any luck with Vintage or anywhere else.

No dramas, I will try to source locally before purchasing overseas. I will keep you up to date.

I have dealt with ISP and they are brilliant. You'd have to look into the shipping cost though now, as USPS no longer do economy international post. Could be cheaper to buy locally but before it probably woudln't have been.
I would just buy from who ever is cheapest for the same product. Who cares where they are. The world is much smaller now. Unless of course the product is actually made in Austrlia, then all you are paying for is someone else to import it.

Okay, after a lot of research and back and forth between a couple of places... conclussion is this:

If you want a lot of items, go to ISPWEST as it will work out cheaper.

If you only want a couple of things, the Australian suppliers are more expensive, but the shipping is cheaper.

Example. Front window rubber from an Australian shop is: $139 + GST, The same front window rubber from ISPWEST is: US$45
