Window Door and Window Gasket and Seal Update

[houseofboyd]

As promised, I've documented my experience with this project. Finished the drivers door tonight, didn't get good video because I forgot to turn on the GoPro, but I did take a lot of pics. Will hopefully start on the passenger door tomorrow or Thursday evening. Regardless, I hope to wrap up this project by the end of the weekend.

I read your write-up and looked at your pictures, you got my click to add to your total.

Why don't you just post this to the Samba, pictures in the gallery and write-up here. that way it won't disappear in 6 mos or 6 yrs or whenever that website host goes belly up.

again congrats on a successful install, post it here and it will live in perpetuity.

Decided to replace the vent window rivet that I bought from Jbugs with one that I bought from Wagen-Werks...much better..they also had the OEM style lock knobs...

Finished the entire rebuild of the doors, all new rubber and seals. Wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it was going to be.
