please. Any suggestions on buying good quality window and weatherstripping rubber? OEM VW still available, German, Mexican? What about the rubbers and seals from West Coast Metric, CB Performance or Aircooled.net?
Only interested in Quality. The window rubber must all be Cal Look, no inserts in window rubbers, but it is a chopped top so all glass now smaller.

The rubber you can buy from Pro Auto Rubber is just as good quality as the rubber you buy overseas.
There is a company in PE that also gets very high quality rubber where I always buy from.

Chris,
I am replacing every bit of rubber and seal on the project, is all that stuff available from Pro Auto? How well does this stuff fit and last? Any issues?
Regards

Not everything Pro Auto rubber supplies will fit perfectly.
When you have a list of what you need, PM me or Cal looker

Thanx but before I do that, where do you get the rubbers from, with all due respect not interested at all in EMPI or Chinese crap (same thing really).

Measure the total length of window rubber needed and buy that length from Pro Auto.
Cut it up as you need. They also supply the sissors and glue to join
