A question for those who have been there: I bought new (WCM) front window plastic trim from Ron Salmon when we were en route to Manassas. The old trim came out easily and the rubber seal cleaned up with no fuss. I applied liquid dish soap to the slot in the rubber trim as a lubricant and then tried to insert the new plastic window trim. It was very difficult but I succeeded in working in about one foot length. This was obviously the wrong way and I'd probably damage the new trim before I swore my way all round the window. Before I bust something, what is the correct way to install this shinny silver colored plastic trim into the slot of the rubber window seal? Larry Johnson '86 Syncro Westfalia |
