    Jfox... if you had found water leaks after installing the seals, what do you do to fix them?

    Luckily it wasn't an issue for me. Like anything the devil is in the details. I thoroughly cleaned the channel on the van with a wire brush, then examined the entire surface for any burs and addressed those with a file and primer. I suppose if i had a leak i would repeat the process.

    Hey jfox,

    I am very sorry I missed helping you on this. Family and work have both been chaotic lately. I would have learned a lot for sure.

    Anybody use a pro to do this? I tried to do it on my 69 a108 and gave up.

    Want to make sure I don't need a special vintage guy.

    Yes... a standard glass guy? It took two guys about an hour, they did a great job.

    Yeah I meant not a vintage specialist. It's pretty simple, but just checking.
