VW T2 67-79 windscreen seal 211845121 without trim

All you need to know about VW T2 windscreen rubber

This windscreen rubber keeps your T2 windscreen watertight and securely in the frame, with a classic profile that fits models from '67 to '79 exactly. The rubber is a direct replacement that you can install yourself with a little patience and the right tools. Combine this with a new windscreen and some rubber cement for a perfect result.

Standard window rubbers do not have a trim groove; these rubbers were frequently used by Volkswagen on the cheaper VW models and all VW Buses up to 1967.

In most cases, leaks are caused by the rubber not fitting properly to the bodywork. With pre-formed corners, the rubber fits perfectly to the bodywork, making leaks impossible.

Installing window rubbers is easiest with a piece of string, and you do it as follows:

1. Clamp the rubber around the glass
2. Place a piece of string in the groove that will later fit into the bodywork
3. Lubricate the window rebate with, for example, dish soap
4. Press the window with rubber and string against the rebate
5. From the inside, slowly pull the string so that the rubber folds over the raised bodywork edge
6. Once installed, press the window firmly into the rubber everywhere and check from the inside that the rubber is properly seated in the rebate everywhere

Installing the window rubbers only works if there are two of you: one presses the window firmly into the rebate and the other slowly pulls the string out from between the rubber from the inside. Where the string meets, overlap them a little; this will make it easier when pulling in the window later.
