Removing rear window mk2 gti

[syncro]

Most rubbers of that age will need replacing anyway.
If it is hard it will have to be replaced.
Shop around.

I left it to the "pro's" and the rubber was in good nick so I didn't bother ordering a new one in case.
So they threw a young fellow onto the task of taking out the window, with what could only be described as a sharpened bent screwdriver. He jabs it in under the inside edge of the rubber and starts jimmying his way along the top inside edge of the seal , puts a little to much effort into it and the sharp instrument misses the seal and puts a massive scratch all the way across the inside tint of my window then the question "did you need to use this soon?" to which the reply was "it's in a car show on Sunday".

Moral, if you want something done right, do it yourself.... or alternatively treat people like they're 2 years old, telling them how much care they should be taking.

i really dont trust many people anymore to do anything, you really do have to do it yourself

so I called up South Yarra VW to check if they had a rear window rubber in stock in case i need one. To which they replied no we'll have to order one from Germany at a cost of $197.70, the prices of parts for vw's never ceases to amaze me....

Lets hope my old rubber doesn't get damaged when the screen is taken out.

$197.70 geeeez... im sure i could send one from the uk cheaper.
