The last month-and-a-half of rain has show me the rear quarter window seals on my GTS have perished. Does anyone have sources for them, and installation instructions?
I haven't actually tried this, but heard about it from a buddy who had to replace the rear quarter window in his VW. Get some rope of a small enough diameter to fit into the seal channel. Wrap the rope all around the window. Put the window on the outside of the car, with the rope going inside the car. You start at the point where the ends of the rope cross and set the seal onto the opening lip. With a helper holding the window in place, pull one end of the rope from the inside of the car. As the rope is pulled from the seal grove, the window seal will roll onto the lip. Keep pulling the rope while your helper pushes from the outside. By the time you get to the other end of the rope, the window should be fully in place. My quarter windows are out right now and this is the method I'm planning on using. Hopefully, it makes sense as I have described it.
