VW Notchback Pop Out Frame Window Seal Replacement

[@darrellm.ieremia4980]

Followed the video exactly, did one pop out today, going to do the other tomorrow. I was concerned about using the "come along" ratcheting strap, but it did work. Glycerin can get a bit too slippery.

Whoa!!! Thanks for this vid. Going to do my Squareback pop outs tomorrow. Should be easier since its square ;) Great share for the Notchback Type3 brothers! Thats looks to be the proper leveraging install secret. BTW my heart stopped when the mallet made it 1st whack @_@ Honest²

Thanks for making the video. I need to do the same on my 63 notch. Do you think the "ratcheting strap" method would work for the round piece too? Maybe dual "ratcheting straps" in both X and Y directions?

I've heard of guys using that method too. You can find some write ups on thesamba.com. I didn't have any straps at the time.

Thanks for the vid but a day short...already built my sqaurebacks glass...bad screws, drilled and tapped. Squareback and notch look the same... BUT how did you do the outer rubber? Im into one glass 6+ hours and still fighting it, not looking forward to the other one. Thanks

I found that a small plastic bicycle tire lever works well but push the bead into the grove with more glycerin, patience, and perseverance. Stay with it, you'll get it.

Thanks. i think the biggest problem I am fighting is although the rubber looks perfect it is still probably 15+ years old from the last restoration. It looks good but is very hard and not pliable...so it does not stretch and or push very easy into the slot...

[@TyceFerwerda]

Just an FYI for all readers...My main issue (after way too many hours trying) was that although the seal looked good...it sucked and was not pliable. I bought new seals and used a butter knife and tucked the seals in. Still very difficult but nothing compared to the originals
