OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

Window Rubber Installation Tool, 6 meter Rope With Grab Handle, N-001
Window Rubber Installation Tool, 6 meter Rope With Grab Handle, N-001


 
Window Rubber Installation Tool, 6 meter Rope With Grab Handle, N-001 is a great tool for window installation! Put the rubber on the glass, then slide the rope from this tool into the rubber's groove, as you pull the rope the rubber lifts the rubber over the lip, without tearing the rubber. Be sure to pull the rope in toward the center of the glass, pulling parallel to the glass itself. This technique minimizes pressure on the rubber, and the chance of tearing the rubber is much lower than pulling perpendicular to the glass.

You can also do this job with a length of electrical cord from the garage, but it is truly easier with this, the proper tool for the job. Normally pulling on the rope can be a challenge since it's smooth and slippery, and a bit stiff to bending, But this flexible cord and integrated handle of this tool makes that a breeze!

The cord included with this tool is flexible, and won't rip at the window rubber.

Rubber tearing is most common on sharp bends, or when the rubber is really tight against the window rubber lip.

Another ACN Tip: Get some liquid dishwashing soap, and lube the groove for the rubber. This makes it slippery and installation is much easier, and it rinses off easily with water after you are done!
