Unlike the standard \"American Style\" seals, this version is solid black and intentionally lacks the groove for the factory aluminum trim. This creates the sought-after \"shaved\" aesthetic of the classic California Look, emphasizing the lines of the car without the distraction of chrome molding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eThis seal is a high-quality functional replacement for original rubber that has shrunk or cracked over time. It is designed to hold the rear glass securely within the convertible top's wooden or metal frame. Removing the trim from the equation also simplifies installation, as you won't have to deal with seating delicate metal molding into a rubber track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetailed Vehicle Compatibility\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eThis seal fits the following convertible models continuously across these specific years:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVW Beetle Convertible (Standard)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\"\u003e1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVW Super Beetle Convertible\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"\u003e1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eImportant Fitment Note:\u003c\/b\u003e For the 1975 model year, this seal is for \"Early 1975\" vehicles manufactured through \u003cb\u003eVIN # 1552012217\u003c\/b\u003e.
