I have done all the others and the doors are the last ones.

They others were not bad at all.

I will probably to the driver first since that is the worst one of the 2.

I have done seals several times but never on a bus.

not as expensive as the seals on the Super Beetle. Thought I was buying gold 
certificates.

  Oh Alma your in for a long haul of doing those bus seals...It's not cheap 
either!
  Dan did all of the seals in our bay, except the driver door and passenger 
door,which includes the vent ones on the drivers & passenger sides.
  We still have those, but he just wasn't up to doing those after doing all the 
others.
  Yes you need to remove all of the windows. It's not easy doing the 
seals....But it can be done. Patience grasshopper patience....

          Yes, yes and yes. My advice is not to have small children around when 
doing the vent windows for the first time. It can be frustrating. I don't think 
it's possible to remove the vent window without disconnecting the main window 
from the regulator at least. If you got felts then it's easier with it out. 
          Did you get German or Brazilian door seals?

            K. 
            bought all the rubber for the doors and windows on my 70 Bay Window 
bus. Advice from someone that has done it before needed. 

            Do I need to pull the glass out? 

            Do the vents window need to be done 1st?

            Do they need to be removed to replace that seal also?
