Subject:      Leaky sliding window repairs?

Kinda at a loss here,so bear with me. Had my son shoot car wash rinse
spray at the suspect windows thinking the leak was in the rubber
gasket.  Apparently not.  Where the water was coming in was at the
upper front corner, lower front corner and at the bottom where the
front and back glass overlap.  VW wants an arm and a leg for the
replacement parts and the entire window assembly is NLA.  Just the
naked metal frame is over $300. Heck, the bug screen(253-847-749) is
a bargain at $72!!  The cheapest I can foresee getting out of this
from VW is replacing the #'s 2, 14A, and 15 on the ETKA photo
109-00.  it's likely I'm missing part #16 entirely which might make
things cheaper to fix.

Do any of the list members have any experience replacing parts in the
sliding window or have a quick sealing tip or two?  I haven't checked
the on line vendors yet, but will today or tomorrow.

Thanks
