Window Rubber

Dec 04, 2003 14 Replies

This has been asked and argued like a 1000 times I'm just never around to read the conclusion.



Where is the best place to get window rubber?



I think Bebe's may be leaking a little in the front so I figure I might as well replace it all.



TIA!

I think West Coast Metric is usually held in the highest regard.

Eh? The procedure for taking the window out is to cut the inside of the old seal all the way around with a utility knife. Then the window just lifts out. I guess it might break if you dropped it!

I think he was referring to when it goes back in. Older windshields tend to be a little brittle, and can easily break when being re-installed.

(Ask me how I know.)

That would make more sense.

Oh, OK. How do you know?

depends on location i believe....locally about five years ago the *cheapest* price i could find for a standard beetle windshield(68) was over 300....i bout crapped my pants....i used the original....
