Bus Depot vs wolfsburgwest vs jbugs window seals

[dstimm]

Hello,

I am looking to pick up some window seals for my 1979 Westfalia bus. Unlike most parts every vender seems to carry a different part number / brand of rubber, and I want to make sure I order the best quality possible. I have searched the forums and it seems most of the information contradicts it's self or is outdated.

Here is my Passenger side window from each company:

cvw vs B vs D? Anyone know what is going on with the variants?

I would like to order these from one company to save shipping, but I do live near jbugs and I could always drive there to pick up.

I have had excellent luck with Wolfsburg West window rubber. I like their products and their philosophy of not selling stuff they wouldn't use on their own cars, so I give them my business. The same can't be said about the other two vendors you list.

WW might be a few dollars more, but for quality I'll gladly pay it.

ask this guy. No one knows bus rubber better than he. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=176827

I also purchased my seals from Wolfsburg West and liked the quality. No experience with the other two.
