Rear window 2

Just fitted a new MkII rear glass window.
Total time 2 hours.
Followed the previous guidance given here and hey presto all fitted, no leaks and used some extra 3 mm rivets.
After chewing off the original sealing foam tape on the lower metal strip and not being able to purchase the like. I found the velcro strips using the fuzzy stuff only, replaced the foam and sealed any gap shown.


new window works a treat.

Yeah, I used velcro as well. it does the job and won't end up looking like the dog ate it like the foam does.:rofl:

good stuff and will last the weathering as nylon, get in quick as the oil crysis will get worse. £2.00 a litre, ouch, predicted.

My mates reacon the Gulf war was a test, the financial issue a heist followed by the up rising of these people on fields of black gold (oil) for a democracy will only deepen fuel problems.... time to drive my old diesel with cooking fat ! Mmmm Chinese Number 10 with BBQ ribs :silly:

Good job from the photo and well done.......

2 hours? did you stop for lunch...lol

Fitting a Glass upgrade panel should take less than an hour; watch me fitting one in 15 minutes:


IF anyone needs 20mm wide, single sided adhesive polyethelene foam strip www.mgfmania.co.uk can supply it for £5 we had to have 1920mtrs manufactured!
