1965-1977 VW Beetle Quarter Window Seal – Right – Deluxe – German special

Description

The VW Beetle Deluxe or “American Style” German Made Right Stationary Quarter Window Rubber Seal accepts the aluminum window trim (which is sold separately). Deluxe, “American Style” Seals have the Groove for the Aluminum Window Trim which must be installed before the window is installed in the Beetle. Deluxe window seals are popular with people who wish to re-apply the chrome window trim for a vintage look. The German made seals are molded seals, not extruded as our American made seals. With molded corners you are assured of a factory fit and finish. The rubber is Lifetime Guaranteed and fits 1965 through 1977 Standard Beetles and 1971 through 1976 Super Beetles.

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.
