They go in OK, much like a windscreen. Stiff repro seals won't help. Do it on a warm day and keep the seals in a bucket of red hot water til you use them. Plenty of lubrication and a friend on the outside pushing the glass in helps. I start with the cable coming out of the middle at the bottom, and...

https://paulwaites.org.uk/camper/van_window.jpg Hi all, Its time to put my side windows back in. Factory fitted (Devon). Any advice/tips welcomed. Most Youtubes etc seem to deal with panel van window seals so if you know any links that would be good. I've helped other folk with a winscreen but this...

Thanks for the link.

However, I think that shows you how to use the H-channel window seal that you use with panel van windows.

I've also been told to use a piece of rope to fit factory windows in a similar manner to windscreens...

I'll do a bit more googling!

Hi all, Now I know this will have been asked a thousand times so apologies but I've looked in the Wiki and googled and just get adverts for window seals. I am repairing the side windows (Side and rear) frames and there is plenty of info on this but there seems precious little on getting the glass ba...

I find these pretty good:

Scotch-Brite Clean and Strip Discs, (or rather the much cheaper unbranded versions).

They wear away quickly if you are not careful but are bettter than wire brushes which just seem to "polish" the rust.

Thanks for the replies.... I'll look into these.

I am sure there was a thread on starter batteries but searches and looking at the Wiki has drawn a blank so I'm asking here. Need to replace my starter battery and looking for simple off the shelf suggestions. I believe the listed battery is a 36ah but I would like something with a bit more umph, wi...

I cannot say personally but the likes of serran1955 are recommending powerspark in a recent thread about a 2l CU loosing power.

Thanks for the replies, will have to see how I get at the tailgate... its still locked. (The doors were easy to open! So much for security)

Not sure which board is best for this so I've stuck it in general. I've gorn and lost my keys. (Not used the van for a long time, but I now need to move it). I've searched the forum and there is a bit on locks..... It seems to suggest that if I can get the lock number I may be able to get a new key ...

Glad you got sorted. A similar thing happened to us a couple of years ago.

I think i read/seen post on here .. Some fitted a bongo roof to a t3 any Else seen it i can't find it now I can't really help much other than to suggest not to do it! Some have done it on T4's: http://www.vwt4forum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=40367" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false...

Thanks for the replies I will get on with that tonight....

Didn't want to dive in hitting things till I knew what to hit and how hard.

Hi all, I'm doing an offside "tall" rear wheel arch repair and so need to remove the panel above that on the nearside covers the slider mechanism. I've ground off the two siezed in self tappers so the bottom is free but can't see how to free the top... Is it twist out or tapped upwards wit...

An excellent idea.... I've got an old K&N filter somewhere. I was actually thinking of a more crude breather pipe which involved venting to the outside but your solution is much better. I keep reading stories of folk changing the rocker gaskets and finding the leaks worse when they finish but I ...
