Had a good stretch in ~35 degrees today, once it was in it was fine (slut to do though) but then at some point its just snapped. Will take the whole thing in on Tuesday and ask for a replacement with the correct seals, these ones have to be too small, the glass is larger than the whole seal and we're talking 3 hands pulling to stretch it over the glass.^^^^^ gotta be wrong seal, WCM is perfect fit all the time....I've been using them for over 20 years in restos without drama... Always good to warm up seals in the sun to give them some stretch, once they are in they can't split.
It shouldn't be that hard, putting seals in glass is alone man job, putting seals in the car is a two man job......Had a good stretch in ~35 degrees today, once it was in it was fine (slut to do though) but then at some point its just snapped.

Hey mate,sorry bout the late reply...... I used justkampers a lot and sometimes Das Resto on the Gold Coast. Most of my engine gear came from Cip1 and Scat in the US.All my rubbers n such comes from West Coast Metric.Hey Binner what shops do you use to get Genuine VW stuff for your T2?
I used 'just kampers', and I've see 'The bus stop' but what are other good shops to checkout ??
Don't want to buy crappy Brazilian Parts only want Genuine German parts or Equivalent.
Cheers Mate.
