Hi my 1983 camper has got only one window in it she has just had a full restoration and now I am putting her back together however it took me and a friend 4hrs to put one window in the rear passenger side. We watched the video on campervan culture made it look easy stringing the windscreen in. was wondering if any kind person is available on Tuesday to help me out. please as really want to go to vw festival leeds
Beer or coffee available to the person who helps might even provide lunch.

you may provide lunch for something that will take you 12 hours !!! cheek
details/picks of resto would be nice as would an introduction in general ,also resto firm not fit them for some reason

just thought for some one who knows what they are doing won't take them 4hrs for one window. didn't mean to afend or be rude

you werent being rude,i was tongue in cheek
post up some picks and details etc and an intro ?unless ive m,issed it.side windows with the correct rubber take less than 5 minutes to fit if panalvan conmversion and a couple of minutes if fac glass,hence picks and further info.pickposting is in the wiki^^^^^^^,
no charge for this advice

Gotta be worth a chip cob mike !

A tool of the trade I found out when I was stringing my front window in , is the plastic nosal on the tubes of decorators caulk or the like.
Get a clean one and cut it at an angle like you do when caulking and so you can get your rope through, and then pull a few inches through the cut end and then put the pointy bit of the cut into the channel of the rubber and feed the string around.
It makes stringing up a lot easier if you ger what I mean?
Cheers dazz

really need to see what sort of window rubber the windows have could be your doing the wrong method!

wherabouts are you if local i could fit them for you
