Genuine VW rubbers needed no sealant as the rubber was a dry seal one from new, if you can still get genuine VW rubber use them as pattern rubbers are a pain in the rear to fit and often leak, 3m makes a very good rubber to body sealant but i cost's a bit, but i never have to reseal anything after u...

you fitted this type of rubber to a train ?
i have done many trains and trams myself but all were bonded, did fit a rubber window to a small plane once.

sounds like you have clayton wright rubbers, you dont need a string for these type of rubbers, take the insert out run a blunt screwdriver round the rubber (glass side) to break the seal then push the glass from the inside ( you might want a friend at this point) and remove the glass, sort the body ...

Tell the guy or girl who has come to fit it that you welded in a new panel as it can be tight when that has been done

Hello to all, i phoned rust-oleum on Monday to ask about a shade of Red that i was after and the guy on the other end ( Richard ) said he would send me a colour chart, the chart came today and is very good as it show's the colours/shades very well, give them a call and get one as it may well help yo...

i have tinted the small pastic windows on Smart cars sometimes the film does not want to stick due to the oil's in the plastic, the best thing to do is try one and see how you go, good luck.

i have done tinting for a living so understand what it takes to tint the windows on many vehicles, some are almost easy and some a complete pain in the rear :roll: to take the side windows out of a T25 with non OE rubbers is relatively easy as long as the rubbers are in good condition, they will nee...
