    1/4 light seals - windows fitted

    I’ve had the pleasure of now fitting the x3 1/4 lights and x4 side windows after much swearing and greasing. 2 of the 1/4’s don’t open but I’m prepared to leave that for a couple of months ‘to bed in’. I have some gaps in the seals which I’m not happy about. Also the top of the 1/4’s seem to...

    New to EarlyBay ? Say Hi here ...

    Hi I've been lurking for a while but at last I am the proud owner of a 1970 cal import deluxe. I owned a cal look beetle over 10 years ago. But with an expanding family (and waistline) and an oversize dog it was time to get something we could all fit in. Looking forward to asking questions...
