Wow, that is expensive.  I just bought some repro seals for my Porsche and 
it was way cheaper than seals for the Square (i.e. pain in my pocket book).

What options besides West Coast Metric do we have for quality rubber seals
for our Type-3's?

I just priced a complete door seal kit for both doors from WCM and I am
kinda shocked at the price.  WCM wants 656.70 for their deluxe kit for
both doors.  Now, this does include all seals/scrapers for both doors.
But, man.. $660.00???

Unfortunatly, I need the complete kit.. the PO really hacked these doors.
Clear rubber hose material for the door seals and cut up fan belts for
window scrapers and a mess of other stuff.. a real mess.

I have always used WCM with my Bug and Type-2 restorations.  But, sheesh..
do I have any other options than WCM for Type-3 seals?

I made a list of everything I need from WCM and it totals $1600 in just
rubber products alone.
