I did mine just that way on my 64. But I used Dow silicon grease. Rub a very very thin film on channel and seal. It was like nothing to put it in. I did my hood and deck seal the same way.

Great tip! That’s how I always do it! But I arch the end by the chrome channel post and install that end first. I don’t do many restorations though. One of my least favorite jobs!

No, do NOT use a microwave to warm up the rubber. A microwave heats up food by vibrating the water molecules present in the food. Your rubber seal does NOT contain water molecules. If left in a microwave to try and warm it up, you are likely damaging the molecules of the rubber compounds.

I agree, I have never done it, but some folks told me they have. I usually use the sun or a heat gun.

The cappuccino was a nice touch,..but no VW logo in the foam? Maybe a copyright infringement. What brand seals are you using, I like the silicon tip, always helps.

Thanks! Need to rebuild the components on my '59. Is that a "dry" silicone you're using? Will the same thing work to keep the rubber from sticking as the main window goes up/down?
@classicvwbugs3 жыл бұрын
No it is a wet silicone! And yes you can use some silicone or baby powder for the window scrapers.

My new seal made the little window hard to turn. Tried lubricant, no result. Any suggestions?
@classicvwbugs3 жыл бұрын
its not the seal that does that, there is a clamp in the door that you have to loosen.

Actually this is much harder on these years. For 67 they install into the removable vent frame. I have a vid on that.

@@classicvwbugs no I don’t have a better way because I haven’t had a bug since the 70’s. I was just making an observation. No disrespect, keep up the good work.
