I would trust your judgement and give them a try if I was in the market. Some nice flat OE type rubber with groove would be interesting, my last rubbers from WW (for Deluxe Beetles) is somewhat bulbous if I recall correctly.

Who's VEWIB's distributor in the US? I have the hardest time finding their products.
Thanks Antoine for Kaeferland! |

VEWIB, still is the best you can buy, supposedly original tooling, I've used WW & WCM, nowhere as good.

They don't show enough close up of the product to convince me of authenticity of original design wo warrant a try. |
