211-521A VW Split Bus Rear Window Seal - Cal-Look (No Trim) 1950-1963

Split Bus Rear Window Seal (Cal-Look) – 211-521A

The 211-521A is the perfect choice for owners who prefer a de-chromed, "blacked-out," or minimalist look for their vintage Transporter. Because early Split Buses are highly susceptible to water ingress around the rear hatch, a fresh, pliable seal is the best defense for your interior and engine compartment.

This seal is designed for standard rear windows found on all 1950–1963 models. It uses the traditional "rope-in" installation method. By removing the trim groove found on the "American Style" or "Deluxe" seals, this Cal-Look version offers a tighter, simpler fit that is often easier for DIY installers to manage.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Seating the Seal: Use a plastic bone tool or non-marring pry tool to ensure the rubber lip is fully seated over the metal flange all the way around the window.

• Cleaning: To keep the "Cal-Look" rubber looking deep black, clean it periodically with a pH-neutral soap and apply a water-based rubber protectant. Avoid petroleum-based dressings which can degrade the rubber over time.
