  • Ben's '63 Beetle becomes a paddling pool every time it rains thanks to window seals that are more desiccated than Tutankhamun's grandmother. We attempt to replace the rear window seal without breaking the glass, the seal or the window frame. That's kind of asking a lot.......

    Now that I've caught after watching your past videos you 2 constantly remind me of my father and uncle on my mother's side of their going on 50 years ago when they were playing with VW's. My uncle Kurt was the mechanical genius and my father was his side kick.
    Enjoying your videos. As they make me smile.
    And I still play with my VW's on a different scale
    Cheers Michael

    Murphys oil soap works great for installing windows.

    Did you guys end up doing a video for the front window?

    I would have painted the window frame before installing the window with the new seal.

    Looks like a good seal, WW? All my glass is out, it didn't leak but I can't help wondering if I should replace the seals anyway.

    Now you have to take it out again to install the headliner

      Assuming we’re doing a headliner and we are not 😂
