These are also called Door Window Slot Seals.  Airhead Parts has always
carried them, both Chrome & Non-Chrome Style, at least for the past 8 years:

Non Chrome Style

The Chrome Style has been obsolete by VW.  They are now being reproduced
with the original tooling in Germany and fit great - I have a pair on my 84
GL (the Airhead "guinea pig")
