I am replacing all the rubber in my 87 and the rubber from the middle side windows I just removed is in excellent condition.  Nice and soft, no cracks.  Has the channel for the chrome trim.  $30 each (they are over $100 each at the dealer, I know, just bought some new ones).  I would use them, but I am going w/o the chrome channel.


  In doing this project I discovered, oddly enough, that the dealer is almost always the best source (and price) for the rubber.  In fact, I have been told that most of the independant VW shops are just re-selling rubber they have purchased from VW.  I have found on some pieces, you can save 25% using the dealer vs. the major independent suppliers.
