well my wifes camper needed front window scrapers on both sides,so i ask around are they hard to fit,and through the gagging, and vomit i'm told don't do it,not a good start.
but being a vw driver not to brite i decide to do it,i aquired the parts from bus stop fast service i mite add and when they arrivde it's off i go whistling some crap i heard earlier,i strip the doors and start now i finally see why they cringe, those bloody clips just won't go in, but a quick think and i find a fix,you know there are 2 types of circlip plies one opens and the other closes when used. well grab the ones that openand had them fitted in 10 minuets i just had to rush in and tell all
so who😂s a clever boy🤪

All I can say is.... they MUST be easier than a beetles... lol

probably not much easier... !! but bigger is easier...??

WELL DONE...

all My clips just snapped off...

so they are on with contact adhesive...

[actually, I used 3 different glues]

so they won't come off for a long time... if ever... lol

LEE

but it was still the worst job on a beetle..... IMHO...
and I do have all the different pliers... many
but wouldn't think of using them on anything but a circlip.. lol
