RE: [T3] Outer window scraper replacement

["Charles Navarro" <c-navarro@nwu.edu>]

Has anyone bought these recently ? 

Yup.

Are they worth their weight in gold ?

Oh boy, were they expensive. They were either 200 or 250 a side, can't
remember which; I had to import them NOS from Germany. Problem is that
the chrome and rubber is a single piece. I needed both the chrome piece
and the rubber for my resto- someone had suggested to pull out the
chrome piece and cut down a bus outer scraper and replace the bad one
with the bus one. Cant say that I have tried that one. My NOS
replacements were for a 72 - don't know if there will be a diff in the
price tho for a different year :(

Have the article from Hot VW ... 

About the article, is there any way you could scan that puppy up and
post it somewhere- I am dreading putting my doors back together (I don't
remember how they came apart).

Take care,

Subject: [T3] Outer window scraper replacement

Ok,
So i need to bite the bullet here and replace the outer window scraper
on 
the 66, 68, and 69..so i figure by the end i should be really good at
this. 
I have figured out how to do it ...i just need the right parts
I know that the rubber can be replaced (i have the article from Hot VW)
But i would rather just replace the entire assembly as the chome now
isnt in 
that good of shape anyways.

Aftermarket vs NOS?
Who stocks these ? Let me know your experience on with  them good and
bad.

thanks-
Martin
