What sort of VW??
I just did my 75L bug with a friend
The hardest part was getting the right seal.

barls. i called obriens they had never heard of the car.
they also said it would be X amount of dollars. and if the windscreen broke, they would charge me for a new windscreen + x amount of dollars for a
refit.
i found this kind of ludacris if they break the screen.
Bizarre. its a 1964 type 3 squareback.
i was kind of keen to have a go at the back window myself first, since its smaller and flat.
the seals i got were from ISPwest. so im hoping they are correct. i measured them up against the car they seem right.

They aren't impossible to do, but can test You when You have to thump the windscreen with Your hand....
much better to have someone help You who has had experience....
cheers
