I also like Paul's idea of using Wurth Rubber Care instead of soapy water. I just don't like the idea of trapping water in the seal and the Rubber Care product might be more beneficial to the rubber than soap. I found the hardest part of the whole operation was putting the seal on the window before installation. The rope pulled out really smoothly with a helper applying pressure from the outside. -- John Meeks Vanagon Rescue Squad http://www.vanagonauts.com/Vanagon_Rescue_Squad74.htm '91 Multivan, '85 GL Northern Michigan KC8ZFN |
