Hello everyone -- I'm looking to replace the 'Cal look' windshield and rear window seals with the replacement seals with the chrome/aluminum. I ordered from West Coast Metric and they mostly sent me incorrect parts, twice.

I called House of Ghia, but no answer there...

So -- can anyone recommend where I can get quality seals and trim for my 1970 hard top? Looking for a supplier who knows which parts are correct so they can all arrive together.

On a happier note -- it's really great having this weather and the little Karmann out on the road with everything working so well! That little engine just ticks over like a sewing machine!

Thanks,
David

Hi David,


I believe House of Ghia has mostly gotten out of the parts business in favor of auto restoration.

Have you tried Karmann Ghia Parts and Restoration (www.ahp-karmannghia.com). Their website is currently down for maintenance, but they are still doing phone orders. I am certain they would have the correct 'blocked' windshield seal you need.

Call KGPR: https://www.ahp-karmannghia.com/

Their website is out at the moment, so call, they will make sure you get the correct parts...it's their business to know Karmann Ghias.
