This high quality 1956-1966 VW Karmann Ghia American Style Front Windshield seal comes with a lifetime guarantee and is sure to fit your classic VW perfectly. American Style window seals are just like OEM and have a groove to accept aluminum molding.
Our Expert's Take:
We spent years developing a better seal and have tested hundreds of different length seals to find a balance of an extruded (not molded) seal that fits the glass and doesn't curl up in the corners like so many other suppliers seals do. For this reason some people install our seals and think they are too big. If you simply start at one edge, and stretch the seal in place all the way around, you will end up with a very loose seal. Rubber stretches AND compresses. If you get to the last few inches of glass and have "extra" rubber, work and push the seal BACK on the glass, opposite of the direction you stretched it on. Concentrate on leaving the seal "loose" in the corners and compressed in the flat areas.
Cal Look versus American Look: There is really only one difference between “American Look” and “Cal Look” window seals. American Look seals have a groove in the rubber to accept the aluminum window molding found on deluxe Beetle models. The original standard VWs did not have fancy trim or chrome components, but pretty much all VW Beetles imported into the US were deluxe models that included these feaetures. So, the rubber seals used on them are referred to as American Look these days. Cal Look just means the window seal doesn’t have that groove. Eliminating the shiny trim around the windows and other chrome components gives the car a completely different look, a style custom cars guys in the ‘60s referred to as Cal Look.
