Description
The VW Beetle Deluxe or “American Style” German Made Molded Windshield 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 1970 Convertible Beetles and 1971-1972 Super Beetle Convertibles.
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.
American Window Rubber
- American window seals have a groove in the rubber to accept the aluminum window molding
- 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
- Removing all of the chrome trim from the vehicle including the window trim, body trim, bumpers, and more gives the car a completely different look
