Rear side Vanagon window seal without groove for chrome molding. Professional installation highly-recommended.

Fits: 1980-91 Vanagon, both left (driver) and right (passenger) sides

Options: Your choice of German or USA-made. Typically the German seals are considered slightly easier to install. Both options are very high quality.

If you're confused about what "with groove" or "without groove" means, please read this article for clarity.

Install Tip:
These window seals are much easier to install when they are 80 degrees or warmer. Install on glass, install your rope—and let it sit in the sun or warm it up with a heat gun for best results.

They fit nicely...

I replaced all the window seals, as long as you let these warm up in the sun, on the glass, with rope installed; you should have no problem. As you can see they fit nicely

Window Seal without Groove (Rear Side L/R) [Vanagon] German

Very nice to be able to purchase new rubber. I actually purchase this rubber twice. First time the seal went in great! My van windows were getting tinted and the installer inadvertently stared to cut what he thought was old rubber . I had recently replace with a powder coated solid aluminum panel. GoWesty had the seal in the mail very fast. Thank you guys! R/Jeff

Snug fit

Good, snug fit, works great....but, note, installation can be tricky (especially on the driver's side if you have a camper closet). After watching/re-watching several YouTube videos on how to install this type of seal (lots of videos out there for old Bronco's and Land Cruiser's), I decided to go for it and ended up tearing the inner part of the seal (ordered another one and tore that one too!). At that point, I handed the job over to a professional (finding someone to do the job is a challenge in of itself...I went to 6 different glass shops in LA, a city of 10M+ people, and not a single one would take the job!). My suggestion is to find/pay a pro to help you BEFORE removing the old seal and window.

Softer rubber than some other brands

Windows went in fine and the rubber felt better with a better looking seam than other brands.
