Thanks, >> West Coast Metric has many weather-strip rubbers for Type 3's, including Fastback, Notchbacks, and Type 34's. Order a wholesale distributor catalog to get the straight skinny. Sometimes, you have to use a "like-part" and make it fit. The Notchback, for example, has rubÊsJñdily available. What I found on a Type 34 was that the regular Type 1 Ghia rubber fits perfectly, even though the shape of the quarter-windows is different between Type 1 and Type 34 Ghias. If you have to make a weather-strip rubber fit, but the American style rubber from a similar car and cut it and use Zep's quick grip adhesive. Zep's requires refrigeration when not in use, but it's good for splicing.
