Some input: THE RUBBER PROFILE - REPRO
As mentioned above - there are repro available from the Grundmanns for the Split Screen Beeskow - this is different to the curved screen cars.
Some alternatives for repro curved screen Beeskow rubber:
1) The 90ies repro run in the States by Ladley/Jones. Apparently this is now all used and gone...it had some fitment issues, but worked.
2) VolksAuthority in San Francisco is investigating a new run of an improved profile, reproduced in the USA. Timelines and availability not known at this time.
3) I have collected numerous samples of very similar rubber profiles from period correct other European cars...being reproduced today by 2 companies in Germany and 1 company in Holland. These are high qulaity reproductions, very nice profiles.. I basically fetched about 30 profiles that was very similar to Rometsch and have tried them on my curved screen Beeskow car. One of them fit very very nice and is very similar to the original Romestch profile...except it has "multiple-grooves"-sealing principle against the body (like original VW), instead of the "double-lip"-sealing like Rometsch. Visually it is very similar, although a little bit wider. I am awaiting full length sample of this profile and will try it with glass and chrome and publish the results.
Here is the profile and part number:
(I will make and post a better profile pic later)
