dry lube scrapers
Lift up window
Re-install 10mm bolts

yeah it can be a PITA which is why you drop the glass. Depending on the model you may need to drop the 1/4 out but most of the time the beetles are fine.
After you've done yours I'll bring mine around 😂
I bought all the scrapers and started putting them in one day.
Only managed to get inside drivers on because i got too frustrated and gave up.

Craig, its many times. 10+ years at Volksrestore, I did one or two, although my brother managed the panel section more than me.
Proceedure is important, Brads list will certainly help.
The worst part is the crap quality of most replacement parts.

Mate that was nearly ten years ago and I'm just getting into the swing of things,+ bed time and takes way too long typing... You'll be ok, just be very carefull with new paint...
Take your time, reverse the disassembly order exactly when going back together.

Ok I wasn't posting an exact how to do it and it is to damn cold for me to go outside to the shed and double check.
Yes you need to remove the bailey channel and they PITA clips are easy to remove as long as you remove them correctly and don't just rip them out. The clips are suppose to come out with the bailey channel not stay in the car. They have a retaining tab on the back that you slide up to get it out of the hole (about 5mm). You can pull the bailey out of they but they have teeth and often don't like to let go. To put them back in you clip them in and then push the bailey channel into it
As for times, I will happily do a set fot two hours labour if anyone wants to bring their car over with the correct parts. I don;t see what the big deal is, it isn't even a dirty job.
hehehehe........yeah thats why i'm restoring a country buggy !!!!
I know its not a big deal....................its just I'm deciding between masking up the existing trim/scrapper (perfect condition) or remove and replace ! I really don't want to get half way through and get the SH#Ts !
I have the perfect tool for doing this job, its a thin flexible plastic wedge, u2 me your address and I post you one. I use them for breaking into cars.

Don't U2U him your address, because then he'll come around and steal your car using his thin flexible plastic wedge 😂
On building my sons baja I was more concerned over doing the door windows than anything else on the car. Wiring can get a bit annoying sometimes but taking it slowly and logically it didn't bother me, but the thought of those PITA clips and the "fragile" trim attached to the outer scraper and my short temper I expected something not nice to happen as it was I had to take two goes to get the first side done (I was replacing all rubbers and refitting all the glass) but it is fiddly to do and I wish I could have done it in an hour per side.
