Fitting a replacement Westy window
The weekend is here and my long awaited shiny new double glazed window has arrived for my Westfalia Joker sliding door. I'm looking forward to fitting it but wondering if anyone has any fitting tips for these as I can imagine there maybe a bit of a 'knack' to them.

There is a knack to it, use some strong cord, and some lubricant, KY jelly works well and get a helper, there is a video on the campervanculture.com site of it being done.

rubbber onto glass/p[laggy lol
cord in groove and leave a loop out at each side,
squirt cheap glass cleaner to body aperature, apply window to van and get yourr mate to apply light pressure whilst you pull the cord out, you will figure it
