Cal Look Window Rubber Kit, For Super Beetle 73-77, White

EMPI Cal Look White Window Rubber Kit for 1973-1977 Super Beetle

Vehicle Fitment & Compatibility

This EMPI window rubber kit is precision-engineered specifically for the 1973 through 1977 Volkswagen Super Beetle (Type 1). This 4-piece set includes the seals for the curved front windshield, the rear window, and both the driver and passenger side rear quarter windows. Please note that because these are for the Super Beetle, the front seal is designed for the curved glass characteristic of these later models.

Product Overview

Designed for enthusiasts seeking a custom aesthetic, this kit features a "Cal-Look" style. Unlike standard seals, these do not have the groove for aluminum trim, providing a smooth, clean appearance. The striking white color offers a unique alternative to traditional black rubber, making it a perfect choice for specialized restorations or custom paint schemes.

Pro Tech Tips for Installation

Use a Lubricant: To make the installation smoother and prevent the rubber from binding or tearing, apply a liberal amount of soapy water or a silicone-based lubricant to the rubber channels and the metal body flange before you begin.

The Rope-In Technique: Use a sturdy, thin nylon cord (approximately 1/8" to 1/4" thick) tucked into the outer groove of the seal. With an assistant applying firm, even pressure to the glass from the outside, slowly pull the cord from the inside of the vehicle to pull the rubber lip over the metal body flange.

Warm the Rubber: New window seals can be stiff out of the box. Lay the rubber kits out in the sun for 20-30 minutes prior to installation. Increasing the temperature of the rubber makes it significantly more pliable and easier to stretch around the corners of the glass.
