I won’t disagree with that I suppose always being skint and a adapt and overcome approach Has forced my path into restoring or making good It’s not an easy path though
One step forward three steps back ffs I lifted the poptop to find this So that and the canvas have now been removed and I’m going to have to try and remove the skylight without breaking it and re seal it.
That thought has crossed my mind But hopefully the skylight will stay in one piece as I like having the ventilation it provides when open.
Steel d frame painted and the opening cab door quarter light reassembled and fitted with new seals. God that was a fiddly job
I’ve cleaned all the dry grease and muck out of the cab door window mechanism Regreased it and given the exterior of it all a brush over with cavity wax. It’s silky smooth now and should give many more years of service. Also whilst the cab door is bare I’ve had a good daub into the nooks and crannies and a brush round with the cavity wax
What grease did you use for the winder mech? I cleaned all the old crappy stuff out of the ones on my bug but forgot to add new.
I suppose anything is better than nothing. Just wish i'd remembered before i installed them and the glass.
My cab door catch is fouling the b pillar ever so slightly How much clearance should there be? Do I need to shim between the door hinges and the hinge mounts on the van to move the rear edge of the door further away from the b pillar?
