Listed as discontinued on VW Heritage and Classic Parts.de, I thought I had found one in the States but that seems to be a blind alley.

 

There must be some kicking about that people will never use???

I have a used one that came off my car before I put the new ones on when I had it resprayed. Its a little bowed but its consistent, so no sharp bends where the metal has distorted. Pretty confident it would seat nicely and I can get pics if anyone is interested?

I have heard that the new bettle scrapers are very close to rado ones. Might be an option.

 

I like the sound of that option, any idea if that was the first or second new beetle?

I've got brand new ones fitted . Now I cannot see how you can go wrong with the fitting , yet my drivers side sticks out a bit at the door handle end . It fits where it's supposed to go , you can't do anything with it but leave it . Annoying as its a brand new part .

Edit these were Corrado parts not beetle .

Mine is exactly the same Rob! I cut a tiny bit out of the passenger side after I'd fitted the drivers side and that happened, so at least one sits flush. I dare not try to do the same with the other though in case I bend it when trying to remove it!

Same as Sean . They are so flimsy, expensive , rare , hard to get hold of , that you don't want to mess with it ! .

I ended up buying a door off a breaker, not yet been brave enough to try removing the seal from it though!
