Anybody find a supplier of the little plastic sliding window guides? I bought some from the Busdepot a while ago but the last time I tried to get a few they were no longer available, and the VW dealer says they are discontinued. FYI, some of you may have done this already to keep those little guides from sliding out of the older vanagons (my westy is an '84) but I used a dremel to modify/update the aluminium track (the one that is glued on the sliding window) so that the updated/newer plastic guides snap into place (I took a little notch out of the inside ridge and shaved down the ridge from my notch to the end of the track) ...I got tired of modifying the updated plastic guides to fit my '84 and gluing them into place only to watch my kids open the windows and see the pieces eventually work loose and fly off..argh!!! Anyway I had two spares and now nee another two. Thanks. Pascal '84 Westy |
