Does anyone know of who or where I can find some help with installing the front windshield and the rear glass in my 59 bug in the Eugene OR area?
Thanks

| I am Australia but any windscreen installer over 40 years of age " when they started gluing them in"would be able to put them in .Or you can do it yourself,I am sure there is a Samba post for that. |

If you don't want to pay for a glass installer or body shop or top shop to do this, contact a local Oregon VW club, bet someone there can help.

I would install them for free if you were closer to me.
I'm up just past Vancouver WA.
They are pretty easy to install. I installed mine with glass suction cups with handles sold at harbor freight.
I wrapped enough cord to go around in the window channel.
Used lots of dish soap to lube the window rubbers.
Put the suction cups on the inside of the windshield. One on the right and left side.
Pull on the suction cup so it's tight against the frame and start pulling the rope so the rubber starts to sit where it needs to.

There are a slew of glass install videos on YouTube.
Very easy task. |
