1 piece window trouble need good inner/outer scrappers

[Ryan Tucker]

Working on a 74 Super, it came in already with working 1 piece windows. Thought i was upgrading with a new 1 piece kit from JBugs that has new wider platform regulators, new glass, sashes, upper channel, and 'supposedly' inner/ outer scrapers. It all fits like shit no matter how much time is spend shiming and adjusting. And the scrappers are a complete joke, they are a incredibly shity design. What pisses me off is the ones that was in the car were ok to be reused and looked like a factory piece with felt and real clips that hold in place. Looks like we may end up putting all the original German regulators in bur i have no solution for the scrappers.

Basically what i need is inner and outer scrappers from another company that work. Id love my old ones back but the guys trashed them. Not sure what we had because they were full length for 1 piece windows ( no wing window) and fit like a factory part. Really hoping someone can lead me to a place to order the pieces i need to finish this part of the project. Thank you

I don't think that I have used these, but John usually sells good stuff. https://vwparts.aircooled.net/Replacement-Scrapers...958-64.htm

Thanks for the link. Ya those are the same as came in my kit, just a pitaful design that wont work. You have to slide these steel strips on these rubbers then cut out holes in the tiny rubber for these clips that are not spring metal...once they collapse enough to go in the hole they dont expand enough to stay in place. Horrible. If you half ass them in place the first time you roll up or down the glass it peels the rubber right off the metal strips. Thats why factory uses felt so it dont glue itself to the dang glass. Ive tried powder and all the tricks i cant make them work

I have made my own using garage door seal rubber, riveted to a metal strip I had to trim the rubber, 30 years on and still good.

Bug On!

I also recently learned that 46-51 VW bugs originally came with one piece windows (so before vent windows). So I'm wondering if the seals and scrapers would fit our application, and if they have the felt? I found the one below at WCM, and I'll need to do more investigation into it as a possible solution.

you wood think with all of those shity window kits somebody wood make some good shit...but apparently no....my bug has them....like yours they were on the car. Ive put in a set of winders and need to change the pass side again, it never was right when it was a new winder. the seals are shit...I have a compleate new window kit(bug poop) I got for about $25....or less. just incase I even needed any parts/window. I had planed on getting scrapers from another car( big swap meats) and using them but stoped going to those swap meets since I dont do big hp cars any more& dont need to look at it. I have 1 nos door, when I get another good door for the other side Ill put them on with the wings in place.

OK, so here's a possibility.

Have to go home and take measurements to see if these are long enough. They look like they have a metal strip embedded in them.
