Window rubber trlm

Hi there am looking for a tool to lnstall the aluminium trim in my window rubbers on my type 3 square right hand drive square , any advice welcome. Found out after removing them it was not necessary to remove them cheers mawsy

The tool doesn't work/isn't needed with Type 3's
Put glass in seal, then trim in seal, but leave out the joining piece. If You can't get the trim in unaided, get a gently curved chunk of Brake pipe & thread a string through it & use that to put string into the seal... push trim into seal whilst pulling string out.
Then it's the Normal string around seal to insert screen into the car
Soft soap can be used as a lube if needed...DON'T use washing up liquid- its full of salt which funnily enough isn't good for Your car!
Once everything's in place, put the joining piece into the seal

Ps to the last post,already put glassin car will this work with Windows fitted cheers Mawsy

No, I'm afraid not-VW trim/rubbers are designed so that the Trim locks the glass into place, so it has to be done in that order

Bugger have to do it all again thanks for that cheers Mawsy
