How do you replace the window scrapers on a 1973 Super Beetle?

The scrappers are attached to the chrome trim as a single unit. You'll need to remove the door panel, detach the window itself so it can sit low in the door and out of the way, remove the vent window and at least pull loose a portion of the felt trim at the top. Under the section of felt trim at the top, next to the vent assembly, is a screw for the vent window unit. Another bolt under the door panel is removed and you can take the whole vent assembly out. If you're going to replace the vent window rubber you'll have to drill out the rivet at the top hinge, no way around it.
That's the short / nice readers digest version. That chrome piece with the attached scrappers is very easy to damage and you have to employ a bit o' artistry getting it in correctly. Search on the net for the procedure. It's a huge pita and if you're going to do the scrappers then might as well go ahead and replace the felt / rubber too. Be sure to get new fasteners for all the trim / felt as the old ones will most likely be too rusted to use. Sorry but you're in for some work.

1971 vw how can you find out if it is a super beetle or a beetle?
There are a few things to look at, look at the windshield first, in a super beetle it will be curved, also on a super beetle if you look at the front suspension you will see struts (springs instead of shocks) and if you open the hood you will see a circular depression for the spare tire to lay down, and the last way to tell is to look at that dashboard, a super beetle has a dashboard that is big enough to throw a pack of cigarettes on to whereas a standard bug has no dashboard.Actually, in a 1971 and 1972 beetle you can get a super beetle with a flat window and a flat dash. I own a 1971 Super beetle. It looks like a standard beetle in every way but it is slightly larger. The only way to tell is by looking for a spare tire that lays flat (only true in the Super) and the suspension. I suggest looking at the spare. If it is angled vertically it is standard - laying flat means it's a super.
