They have been selling them on eBay recently for either sedan or variant. They put the decimal point in the wrong place so the price was £20,000 instead of £200 which made me laugh!

I meant to put variant so changed it above. They do rubbers for variant also. Somewhere on here is a thread about rubbers and an email for the Dutch club. It has the word kever in it from memory. Good luck

I wrote to them a couple of weeks ago and they wrote back to say that the firm who made them no longer does so.

It Looks to me like beetle windscreen rubbers are the same profile as the side windows at least, and have the slot for the chrome trim...has anyone tried using them before, cut and re glued to size obviously..

My front screen looks to have had a bay window bus seal in it, judging by the amount of sealant pumped into the corners I guess they dont fit quite right, :lol:
