I think they leaked from the factory Shirley. Lyle Cherry told me a neat bus story once. He started his life as a VW mechanic at a VW dealership, not sure which one but assume Foreign Car Co in Ft. Worth which was the original VW dealer there opening in 1956 and later became University. At any rate; Lyles story was about all of the people who bought a new VW Type II (split) and would come back in for warranty service to stop the wind noise in the front door windows. Yeah, good luck, there is no way to stop wind noise in a split front door window, and I'm not real sure there is a way to completely stop water leaks either. ________________________________ From: shirley hall <vwbuslady@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: tcb <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, December 29, 2013 6:49 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: Split window rubber Okay this statement is scaring me. Sammie are you joking? I just did Busther's windows and it seemed to go just fine, no leaks at Busfest. I even had supervision during instalation!! ________________________________ From: sammie smith <bugcollections@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; Subject: [tcb] Re: Split window rubber Sent: Mon, Dec 30, 2013 12:08:18 AM There ain't no way it's super easy and quick.
