Fitting Mk1 Rear Side Windows

Post by Tomtecno »

Need some advice on fitting rear side windows to my Mk1, please?
What order do you fit all the bits together, trims, rubbers, glass?
What gets fitted first?
I’m really struggling with this job........ :x

Assuming they are the fixed type, The rubber is fitted to the glass, then put the trim in the rubber, then the assembly is fitted to the car with a piece of cord
