Urgent advice re window fitting

Post by **pollycamper** » 10 Sep 2008, 20:21

Have got the windows out and the seals round the windows ready to go in but can't get the cord into the other groove to start the process as described in the wiki, appears much too tight, any ideas please or we are in deep poop for vanfest. If you work for autoglass and in the warrington area I need you now!!!!

i just finished one , DODDLE ,

,using the tool ( from JK , about 8 squid , worth it ) and some silicon -rubber lube spray ( halfords ) down the groove -- def easier than getting the rubber on the metalwork surround .
I found it best to lead ,down the groove, with the tool first , with the insert threaded thru a bit like a needle , then flatten the insert in as you go along .
