I installed a set of Wolfsburg West windows seals (with chrome trim) in my bug this past summer. Was the first time I've ever done this so I can't compare the seals to other brands but everything went together and all windows were installed without breaking any glass. The seals and trim do seem to be of good quality and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
The chrome trim did need to be finessed a bit so it matched the shape of its groove...doing this is really important and makes installation into the seal a lot easier.
that was me asking the dumb question about leaving the windows in. haha. I just changed my windshield thanks to you chris.
Nah no worries, you and hundreds more, I get the question almost every week for years
Very good Chris keep up the good work
G'day Kevin from Australia.
Great video. I just put my front window in on my 62 beetle and i got my seal from Justkampers.
It had good thickness, the rubber was good quality and even the colour was a nice black. ✌
i know Im pretty randomly asking but does anyone know of a good website to stream new tv shows online?
FYI about 2 years ago we did add about 3/16 of an inch to the flap on our VW Bug window rubber seals. Hope this helps.
Hello from Vancouver BC. I find your videos extremely helpful. I'm glad you updated this procedure because I'm going to be installing the windshield into my 60 bug very soon.
very cool keep me posted.
@@classicvwbugs With help from my wife, the windshield is in. Thanks again for your help.
@@christhegreek3311 Excellent, so glad to hear.
@@classicvwbugs would it be possible/better to use silicone spray to get the chrome strip in the groove?
@@SDsailor7 you can try, but might be too slippery where it can pop out.
Thank's for the video
One of the most informative videos you have done,showing years of experence.
Great video thanks Chris! I would also stress that the chrome trim needs tweaking and MUST line up with the shape of the glass or it is more likely to pop out itself and the rubber out of place, especially in the 65 and later beetles when the glass starts to have a slight curve and is not completely flat. I've done this a couple times now, a major pain as you mention, but looks so amazing with the classic chrome. I have used WW rubber and chrome and it worked pretty well.
What’s is the price on doing the inside on bug. Any comment helps
I hold a beer up to anyone who does this. I had my 63bug painted/repaired. They forgot to put in the chrome trims. I popped out the rear window, the strip goes 2 different directions. what a nightmare. 6 peeps worked on it with me. Maybe 4 hrs, I destroyed one chrome strip and reused one old one. Yes I got it in but I took it back to the body shop and said you do the windshield.
Oh yeah all new seals and chrome strips
Yes brother.. i just did all 5.. hadn’t done glass in 25 yrs.. i just kept everything dry..
Thank you for sharing your expertise. An excellent video on a task that seems quite daunting for beginners. Always interesting and informative.
Thank you!
@@classicvwbugs Can this procedure be used on a super beetle 1974.?
Very interesting and informative video.
Thank you
@@SDsailor7 yes
@@classicvwbugs Thank you
I've purchased seals from Wolfsburg West and the joins are terrible. Not sure what the Westcoast Metric seals are like. I also purchased new old stock german seals which fit amazingly. I kept the original molding which was repaired and polished and I must say the fit and profile is unbelievable.
Great video , as always!! Thanks Chris
Can you install the chrome when the window is installed already. Thank's
Great Video. This gives me a few guidelines for I need to replace the seal and "put back" the chrome trim on my windshield. Unfortunately, I have a 74 Super sedan and have been told the curved windshields are NOT as easy to install. Somewhere I read/heard there are "teeth" along the bottom of the window opening for the rubber. I know you had a 74 Super in the shop a few years back, Any pointers on doing one on those
its basically the same process, should not be any different.
Question : 1963 and earlier models have “flat” front windshields? I’ve used a metal ruler and it reads flat, the windshield is have is “smoked” with no logo, i am not sure which side is which.. any ideas?
Is it a tinting?
Chris, any tips for a rear oval seal? Been trying but it will simply not seat. Any help would be appreciated. Take care! Great vids!
Great video I just did my first attempt of installing a new windshield and rubber and chrome on my 78 SB Vert. Took me about 2 hours installing by myself from installing the new rubber and chrome. Which by the way was the most frustrating because bending it to conform to the shape of the windshield before installing the rubber takes alot of patience. But I got it done without and kinks ....Why dont they make a plastic chrome molding that is bendable or is that even possible? After that was complete I used speaker wire and with a alot of finessing it popped right in.... I have to say Im very impressed with myself for trying this I had my doubts. Though I hope I dont have to do this for a very long time. My fingers were sore for days afterwards.
Yes, such a thing exists, I installed it in my 71 Bug (with the larger window, after the switch they made in sept.71). I'm not sure how it's called on US websites, but it definately exists. It also has different clips in the middle than the aluminium trim.

@@vladmares8128 thx Vlad im hoping someone also knows where to get them because I still have to do the rear window
Wow very cool man, pat yourself on the back! =o)
Been struggling with my driver side 1/4 window for months. GRRRrrrr
Installing glass on my Type 3...should I be aware of anything or follow the same procedure with the curved glass? Thanks for the videos!
Good question, not sure. I've never installed on a type 3. Not sure if it is the same. I know karmann Ghia is different for instance, chrome goes in after window installation.
@@classicvwbugs OK, thanks! The chrome was removed by the previous owner so, that should simplify things. Guess I'll learn the hard way. Really don't want to break the glass.
@@KellerChristoph Good luck
Looking for video on convertible rear window
I have a whole series on convertible top
Thanks Chris for all your great tutorials !! The red beetle up on the hoist ...... what is that red ? Is that an actual VW red ? Thanks Chris
yes that is Ruby Red.
Thanks Pal !! Restoring a 67 and it's a toss up between Sea Blue and Ruby Red 👍
@@leoablett3902 both great colors
JUST GOT TRIM SET FROM JBUGS,
so i need to remove the windown & put the chrome trim in ? CAN LEAVE IN LIKE IS? THANKS,.this my 1st time & doing it myself ,! =) thank you!
No you have to do it with the window removed.
@@classicvwbugs Oh well that anwsered that question..Ok then! .. Thank yall so much Now i know!
@3:44 Same problem. Then he mentions he does not lube the glass, as I soaked mine to death with wd-40. No wonder why I cant keep it on the rubber!
You're using that tool wrong. It has the bend so you can put the bent end of the tool in the channel and drag it. So that the "elbow" can spread the channel and clear the path. Then it won't keep popping out.
Thank you for that!
Thank you.
Your video on rattles really helped me out the other day. Among others.
I appreciate what you do.
Chris where can I get that string tool?
Check jbugs or cip1 maybe?
Chris I'm going to heilp a friend switch his back windows from fixed to pop-outs 74' super if you have a vid on that I would greatly appriciate a link. No hurry since he just odered the pop-out kit. won't get to it for about 2 weeks. Thanks-Rog
It's on youtube, just search pop out window installation VW beetle
@@classicvwbugs I found it. Thanks for getting back to me. I love your videos and all the work you do Merry Xmass to you and your family. If you ever get to South Florida drop me a line, we'll drop the top on my 73' superbeetle and I'll let you dive it along the ocean on A1A. 1776cc with disc brakes Iris Blue I found that color on your channel so thanks again.
@@rang123yea5 ahh that would be awesome man! What part of Florida?
@@classicvwbugs Delray Beach
Ahh man I love Delray! Love el Camino!
Silicon spray would be better ,wd40 destroys rubber ( petroleum based )
Hi Chris, can you please give me details of the colour of this beetle.
The turquoise one in the video?
@@classicvwbugs yes, looks like a pastel green to me or am I colour blind?! I used to have a vintage vespa in a similar colour, I think it was called ' Industrial green ' ..thanks for your quality videos..very helpful!
