Hi there,
I just fixed up the rear window of my squareback and put a new window rubber in which went ok after a bit of pain! But there's one thing I haven't been able to figure out and that's how to get the thin chrome strip in there. Has anyone here done this before? Are there any cool techniques for this ?
Thanks
Pete

Pete, i hate to tell you but you gotta put the chrome strip in first then install the window to the car, thats the way i did it and a part of the strip in the corner still popped out.
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

step 1 clean the glass

step 2 fit rubber to glass make the join in the center of glass ( so it dont look UGLY )

Step 2a fit the join in rubber where the chrome trim joiner will be ( so it dont look UGLY )

step 3 fit chrome trim to rubber on glass

step 4 fit window assy to the car

this is the only way it can be done
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
