Hi all!

I am trying to find the rubber piece illustrated in the pic. So far I haven't been able to find these being offered new, but as I am Swedish, maybe I got my terminology off when searching. Does anybody know where to get the rubber/seal in question? Thanks in advance!

Not sure what year your convertible is but I don't believe the rubber illustrated in your picture is the complete part. The vent rubber seal extends up the glass and the top not just on the lower edge of the frame. Check out Wolfsburg West site or Chucks convertible Parts.

Thanks, but it appears to be two different things. Here's another image, borrowed from another TheSamba member (djkeev):

As you can see, the rubber surrounding the entire window sits inside the actual chrome frame. The rubber I refer to sits between the vent wing pivoting base and the actual glass. That's the rubber I ab looking for. Any ideas?

Now we're talking Smile Right part, wrong year though (mine is a late 1963). But I'll call Chuck and see if these might fit with modification. Thanks!

oops I assumed the part you wanted was where the screw driver poked through, now I see which part you were looking for ! Pain the butt job to do. Just glad you found the right part.
