Do you have the seal? I have the trim and clips but no seal that fits.
Just curious...I´m not interested in selling the trim at the moment. But were did you find the seal?

hi yes i have the seal,but its the original one which was fitted from new,at some trime the window has been rerplaced,and the rubber was refitted but the trim must have been thrown away,luckly the seal is in great shape,i dont think you will fund a seal as there is no one making them,shame.if you do decide you want to sell please get in touch,regards,steve.

OK. I guess my only hope is to find a NOS one somewere :? :?
I´ll get in touch once I decide to sell the trim.

I'm also looking for the clips. Old are rusted away. My old seal and trim are ok, but no clips to fix.

One possibility is to make the clips according old part if find suitable material.

I have some of these clips in good condition. If anybody wants to make repro of these, i can send overseas. (I live in Norway)

sadly I recently tossed a set of clips and trim into the trash. They had come in my 51, I just thought everyone was reverting to the later trim/seal oops my bad!

Andy,

Next time you throw VW stuff in the trash, just send it to me!

I'm also looking for the trim and clips for my '52 (already have the og seal). Some kind soul out there?

Sure sounds like parts ripe for repro.

I don't want to bum anyone out, but have you ever tried using 40+ year old rubber? It won't sustain the cord-pulling. Very bad idea. Get new rubber somehow. Someone will offer it soon--rubber profiles are becoming quite common. Ahem.... Tony? Francisco? Ricardo? (I need one, too!) :P

I have the trim from my 52. No clips and the rubber was no good.

If your going to make the rubber seals,trim and trim clips.....don't forget us Split Kabrio guys!!!
I need all of the above for mine and I am sure there is a few others out there in the same situation.

Thu Nov 30, 2006 9:27 pm

Yes, they have it hard enough!^^^^

The late '51 and up to Oct.1 '52, the chrome strip is smaller in width. The oval went to a slightly wider strip, I believe. They probably adjusted the slot width to accommodate the new strip. I'm not sure about the Kabrios.
