How to - Pop outs · Aussieveedubbers

Bizarre · 2005-12-26T03:49:50+00:00

Well i scored some pop out for my 1303 1975 L bug. Installation is basically the same for all beetles. Tools i needed * Phillips head screw driver * side cutters or tin snips * 2mm?? allen key * stanley knife * polish / cutting compound Any way First step is to get a COMPLETE set of pop outs and give them a good clean and replace the rubber By complete i mean * pinch welt (over sized) * hinge covers * window rubber (outer) * screws * hinge front * hinge / latch rear I was advised NOT to replace the rubber that goes over the glass and under the aluminium trim as it is a bitch to get the trim back over the glass. I dont know if this is true as i didnt try to change that rubber. I used Auto-Sol to polish the aluminium and window cleaner and tooth paste to clean the glass I still have some cleaning on the passenger glass to do as it was REALLY dirty [ Edited on 26-12-2005 by Bizarre ]

here ia a view of the side of the hinge

the top shorter curve is the part that bolts to the window frame.
Just under this is where the threaded "plate" goes that the screws screw into.

The bottom longer curve is what screws to the window.

What i had to do was to make it an even "S" - to bring the screws of the window fram back (more under) the frame screws.

Whatever - my windows and nice and snug now

So for those of us with early bugs and without predrilled holes, does anyone have a guide for drilling holes for the hinges??? as in distance from bottom/top/equator etc...... (I am guessing the rear ones for the latch will be self explanatory after you have put the windows in)
or should I sit the wondows in the opening and hand press them in until I get an even seal/spacing then mark where the holes should be on each side?

Are these hard to come by from a wrecker? If not any ideas on what they might cost?

Hi
Not Many of these were ever sold in Australia during the 68> to late 70s... VERY RARE to see them fitted originally..
if ever.. so

You won't find any in a wreckers yard...

try the advertisers in VWA Magazine...

My sister brought me a set for my 75 Super when she came to visit from South Africa. Cost about $50.00 for the complete kit - that was 2 years ago though

If you can get thgem for that much, I reckon you could sell a load of them. I'll be the first in line!
