1950-1979 VW
Multiple Quality Levels of Weatherstrip

As part of MID AMERICA MOTORWORKS’ ongoing effort to enhance the VW hobby, we have expanded our offerings to be the most accurate and comprehensive in the market place. Every owner chooses to enjoy their VW differently. Some are daily drivers, some are full blown customs, while others are original low mileage cars that rarely see street duty. Our multi-line quality selection of parts reflects the different needs and demands of the VW and its owner. The quality levels OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and REP (Reproduction of Original Equipment) address each of these needs and uses. We offer multiple lines of quality parts from different sources, made of different materials and at price points that allow our customers to select the product that best suits the needs of their particular VW.
