>>Hi all,

As promised, I have posted photos of the various window rubber and other
bits that are vexing me. I am too simple to be able to figure out what
parts I should order to tidy up this stuff. So if anyone has absolutely
nothing better to do, and knows his way around the windows pretty well,
please take a look at

and help me put together a shopping list for some place like
busdepot.com or VolksCafe or wherever.

I plan to do the stuff I can, then let an auto glass place do the rest
with the parts I have bought.<<<<

Rocket J,

The window rubber you want for the back and side windows is called "Cal Look" and available at West Coast Metric.  They make the best rubber out there (IMHO).  If you get the Cal Look, it is without the plastic "chrome" trim that always turns yellow.  Do not buy direct from WCM, however.  It is cheaper to go through one of their dealers.

Good luck.
