Cool, thanks for finding that. Interesting, but I think the drawing shows
rubber at the top and bottom of both the doors and the body (but not at the
hinges). I'll have to try that out.
There is supposed to be a rubber strip in the left door at the overlap.
Wolfsburg West shows the rubber strips, but it is unclear from their picture
it goes in. But it is the left door. I had a '65 panel van I bought the year
Bonnie and I were married and sold it in '01, 27 years.

Denis: On the overlap cargo doors I'll have to look. Off the top of my head, no. Weather strip around top, bottom and hinge side of cargo door and top and bottom on body. But, that's off the top of my head without looking. Will get back to you in the morning.
As to the vent wing. There is a seal in there. If at all possible I try
to save the old one and reuse it. Wolfsburg West sells a new one. Also, I
have used the bicycle inner tube also with liberal amounts of
sticky. Wolfsburg suggests letting them put them in because they have a
jig built to pressure the glass back in. I have used new seals and used a
hammer and wood bumper to knock them back in tight. This is tempered glass
and it will take a lot of pressure. But whatever you do, it ain't
easy. It's one of the tougher jobs of putting the wind wing back together.

In the splitty windwing is there anything besides glue between the windwing frame and the glass? Is there any rubber there? I tried using the rubber sliced from a bicycle inner tube, but I could not get the glass pressed into the frame so tight that I could close the windwing.
Sammie, at the side cargo doors, where the two doors overlap when you close them, is there any rubber there? On which door? ( I think the leftone).
