Cal Look versus American Look:
There is only one difference between “American Look” and “Cal Look” window seals. The groove to accept the chrome trim.American window seals have the groove. Cal look seals do not have the groove. It’s the exact same rubber compound, fit, function, and quality is the same.

- Most Beetles that were exported from Germany to the US came with the aluminum trim in the window rubber
- Thus, this style of rubber seal is referred to as “American”
Cal Look Window Rubber
- Cal Look window seals do not have the groove to accept the aluminum trim
- Called “Cal Look” which is short for “California Look” where the style originated in the 1960s
