 This statement implies that it was something done just for the American 
 market. I don't think this is true.

As far as I know, that's exactly what it was for. I may be mistaken, but I 
have a 1952
Zwitter that has the American style rubber on it. It was imported into 
Canada. And, I have a 1955 European VW beetle that doesn't have the trim. It 
has the cal-look rubber on it. What other implication is there? Maybe we 
should ask someone who's knowledgeable about it. I'll start looking it up 
right now. Ok. found it. It's in Wolfsburg
West's catalog. In speaking of "Door Rubber Kits", it says, " 1   through 
chassis # 5,888,184  U.S.A. delivery only; through 1966, for all other 
countries.  wait a minute...
that's speaking of screws, nuts, etc. I'll check tomorrow with Wolfsburg West 
 and
West Coast Metric and see what they say. If I'm wrong, I'll let everyone know 
that . also ...
