Hi Guys

Am going to be chopping the small windows in my van to put in proper T25 windows

What seals should i use

Ive looked at ours at vw heritage and all you get is one length of black and one length of chrome insert

reading up about ding this you should be using a black seal whihc sits as THE frame on the metalk. Then you put the glass in and another beading goes around that

What the helli sour kit with one seal all about and where ican i get a better one or another way to put in windows.

already got a small window hole whihc are from what ever this car was SMD 928M

Is yours a panel van conversion or a caravelle? There are different seals for each type.

its a panel conversion with currently what i think are windows from a bedford put in. They are square the rear ones. I have bought new glass from work to put 2 proper t25 sized rear windows in

need seals for tehse. ones in stock at work you only get one rubber and one chrome trim. i thought you need one rubber for the frame then some kind of beading

Yes you need the black rubber seal itself and then either chrome or black beading. And you need a fitting tool for the beading. Shouldn't matter that glass is from a bedford unless its a radically different thickness.
