I recently bought the WW door seal kits containing the scrappers for a '66 Beetle. They didn't specify if they were German or Brazilian. The kits were about $275. They were probably Brazilian. I know door seals are, and they fit and function okay. However, the outside scrapper rubber is too long and overlaps the vent window about 10mm. I hope you can see it in the picture. It will need some careful trimming to look right. Another search of their online catalog found they offer both German and Brazilian outside scrappers, but the German ones are about twice as much. I'm not sure if the German ones fit correctly or not. If they do, they would be worth the extra money. [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Evrybody sells the same stuff. If you have a pre 65 car then I think Brazilian is your only choice. But for 65 and up you can get either German or Brazilian. And even though the German stuff is more it is the better choice.

There's also genuine VW in Cal-Look black. Chrome may still be available.

Go over to the Samba and look up user "Antonio Trejo". he's in Mexico City and can FedEx them to you.
