Has anyone bought this kit ? I'm actually just looking for the window scraper rubbers but think for this price I might as well buy the kit ?

Re: Replacement Rubber Kit
Installing scraper rubbers is probably the most frustrating job on a Beetle. You will have to use a left inner for a right outer and a right inner for a left outer if you're doing outer scrapers. Remove rivets and reuse old clips on outers. Re-attach with small rivets. The inners are installed as is but I find that the new clips don't always align with the holes in the door. Moving the clips is a pain as the little teeth sometimes snap as you re-fasten. Next time I'll dump the clips and just glue it to the door.

Re: Replacement Rubber Kit
the new clips break when you look at them funny... They are way too fragile
thats my experience anyway.

Re: Replacement Rubber Kit
Buy local maybe not the best but I have been happy with the things I got from them and affordable prices.If you have a nice or show type car then imported are better.And we are supporting a local company.
