The window seals fits the stock front windshield in 1954 through 1957 Beetles which is roughly 12.5" tall and 40.75" wide, and the rear window for 1972-1977 Standard Beetles and Super Beetles which is roughly 18" tall and 34.75" wide.
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.
When installing any extruded seal (a seal that has a glued or vulcanized seam) it is highly recommended to put the seam at the bottom center of the window. If the seam is installed in a corner the seam can split because of the seal expanding and contracting with temperature changes. If the seal canât be installed at the bottom center, make sure to put it on a straight edge of the window. Failure to do so will void the warranty on the seal.
