I bought all of my rubber goods for Sparky from Wolfsburg West. The front
windshield and both front doors did not fit correctly. Everything else was
perfect.
I'll try Bus Depot next time.
I got most of my rubber from Bus Depot:

I have heard good things about the rubber from OE Veedub as well:

You can check Ratwell's site for more info on rubber, or just about anything bay window related:

Hope that helps......

Hey Brian,
Before this current restoration on my '62, I would have said that WW was the best way to go. Then I had major problems installing the skylight glass because their rubber is too thick and doesn't fit correctly; cost me a few expensive pieces of og Sigla glass. I ended up paying a bit more for very worthy German rubber (just for the skylights) that I got from Ronnie at Old Buses in Arizona. Now I know the German rubber is more accuratly molded and more expensive. For most glass installations, the WW rubber works just fine though.
