1952-1964 VW Beetle Quarter Window Seal – Left – Deluxe – German flash sale

Description

The VW Beetle Deluxe or “American Style” German-made left quarter window seal accepts the aluminum window trim (which is sold separately under part #113-345b-l-r). American Style seals have the groove for the aluminum window trim, which must be pressed into the rubber before the window is installed in the Beetle. Deluxe window seals are popular with people who wish to maintain, or restore their car to, the vintage look. German-made seals are molded rather than extruded like our American-made seals. With molded corners you are guaranteed the proper factory fit and finish. The rubber carries a Lifetime Guarantee and fits 1954 through 1964 Standard Beetle models.

Cal Look versus American Look: There is really only one difference between “American Look” and “Cal Look” window seals. American Look seals have a groove in the rubber to accept the aluminum window molding found on deluxe Beetle models. The original standard VWs did not have fancy trim or chrome components, but pretty much all VW Beetles imported into the US were deluxe models that included these feaetures. So, the rubber seals used on them are referred to as American Look these days. Cal Look just means the window seal doesn’t have that groove. Eliminating the shiny trim around the windows and other chrome components gives the car a completely different look, a style custom cars guys in the ‘60s referred to as Cal Look.
