afternoon

why window seals are leaving black marks down my van, so i guess its time they get replacesd

question is, how easy is it and how do i no what seals to buy

i have a 2.0l Aircooled devon

i see kits come in six window and factory fitted or conversion

i have 8 windows but i guess they dont include the driver and passagner windows and not sure if its factory or conversion is there a easy way to find out?

If you read that the way it is written, it even sounds pizzed :lol:

p.s. = Only joking btw, I know you don't touch the stuff !

p.s.s. = "watching" this thread as our "other" van will likely be needing some new seals WHEN it gets the body finished and wondering which is the best supplier ? (I'm guessing VW Heritage ?)

I'm also saving pennys for my window seal replacements. Fed up with washing my van frequently just because of the black stuff is running down my white van. I've seen that gunzl has them. I'll also be replacing them to solid ones, because all the chrome insert is long gone...

Thanks for the links. Thing is all my windows are now tinted black and the chrome insert just doesn't look right. I would gladly replace it with black inserts, but had a look on the web a while ago and found nothing. I guess I will buy a set of solid ones and sort some leaks as well.
