Volkswagen Maggiolino - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Maggiolino MK 1 - Years 1938-1980
Part: Side window
Operation: Side glass gasket replacement

The first operation to carry out is to remove the door panel: unhook the window opening handle cover and the internal cover from the opening handle; therefore unscrew the screws below and unhook the panel by pulling it upwards. At this point, unscrew the fixing screws of the window sliding shoe, make it go down and extract it after releasing the support bracket. Then release the scraper gaskets and remove the gasket contained inside the door pillar. Unhook the fixing clips of the chrome frame and remove the deflector (there is a fixing screw and then just pull it backwards). Then remove the chrome frame by pressing it inwards to release it. Proceed backwards to install the new kit by first inserting the chromed frame, installing the deflector, then the gaskets and finally the glass and the panel.
