When it comes to some larger projects on your VW bug, such as a transmission or engine rebuild, you may want to rely on a professional auto mechanic. But for smaller projects, such as installing a window, you may feel comfortable doing it yourself. And while installing a window in a VW bug is not a project for novices, it can be completed relatively easily with the help of a friend.

Instructions

    1

    Put soapy water on the rubber seal.

    2

    Put the seal around the window. It helps to use tape to make sure the seal stays in place.

    3

    Dip the nylon rope in the bucket of soapy water.

    4

    Wrap the rope all the way around the window in the seal, starting in the middle of the window at the top.

    5

    Set the window in place together with a helper.

    6

    Pull on the rope with your friend pushing gently on the outside of the window. This will cause the rubber seal to pop on the inside of the window flange.

    7

    Start pulling the rope at the middle top of the window and slowly work your way around one side to the middle bottom. Make sure that the rubber seal is popping on to the correct side of the window.

    8

    Repeat this process on the other side of the window. Once complete, the window should be in and the rope should be out of the rubber seal.
