My Vanagon has that chrome trim around the windows. Will this seal kit fit or do I need to do something special?

Great question! This kit is designed to work with most Vanagon front roll-up windows, but you're right to ask about the chrome trim. The seals in this kit do not have the molding groove where the chrome trim sits. If your van has the chrome trim on the outer edge of the door glass, you'll need to carefully remove the chrome molding from the areas where the new seals install and trim it where it meets the wing window seal. We have detailed instructions and a video on our site showing exactly how to do this. It's a common modification and the results look great!

I need to replace seals on both my driver and passenger side front doors. How do I order the correct kits?

No problem! These kits are side-specific because the seals are contoured to fit either the left (driver) or right (passenger) side perfectly. To replace the seals on both of your front doors, you'll need to add one 'Left (Driver)' kit and one 'Right (Passenger)' kit to your cart. Just select the correct side from the dropdown menu for each kit you add.

My windows are a bit leaky and maybe a little loose. Will this kit fix that, and what about the inner scrapers?

Yes, this kit is exactly what you need to address those leaky windows and get that solid, factory-fresh feel back! It includes the essential seals to keep the outside elements out. We also offer an option to include the inner scrapers with your kit. We highly recommend replacing your inner scrapers at the same time as the outer ones, as they often degrade together. It's a small extra step that makes a big difference in the overall seal and your window's stability. Replacing these seals can really make your roll-up window feel tight and secure again.

I'm not the most handy person. How difficult is it to install this front roll-up window seal kit, and are there resources to help?

We understand! That's why we created a comprehensive installation video that walks you through the entire process step-by-step. Many customers find the installation to be quite straightforward, especially after watching the video. The kit includes the three most commonly needed seals. While some slight trimming might be necessary for a perfect fit, especially around the top channel, the video provides clear guidance. Most customers can complete the installation in under an hour per side. If you can manage basic hand tools, you can definitely do this!

Remplacez les joints de vitre de portière avant fissurés et cassants avec ce super petit kit, qui comprend les trois joints qui doivent être remplacés le plus souvent.

Comprend :
• (1) Canalette de feutre supérieure/arrière
• (1) Canalette de feutre avant
• (1) Raclette de vitre extérieure

Cela permettra de réétanchéifier la vitre à remontée de la portière avant contre les éléments extérieurs. Les kits sont spécifiques à chaque côté, veuillez donc choisir gauche ou droite dans le menu ci-dessus. Si vous devez réétanchéifier les DEUX côtés, vous devrez ajouter deux (2) de ces kits à votre panier, un à GAUCHE et un à DROITE. REMARQUE : Lors du remplacement de vos raclettes extérieures, nous vous recommandons vivement de remplacer vos raclettes intérieures — nous avons donc créé cette option !

Note d'installation : Les joints de ce kit sont SANS la rainure de moulure. Si votre vitre possède la moulure chromée à l'extérieur, vous devrez retirer le chrome des zones occupées par les nouveaux joints. Une fois les anciens joints retirés, en commençant par l'arrière, retirez complètement la moulure chromée de la portière, en travaillant le long du bord supérieur et inférieur vers l'avant. Lorsque vous arriverez au joint de vitre de custode, coupez la moulure à l'endroit où elle rencontre les nouveaux joints. L'idée est que le joint de vitre de custode redresse la moulure chromée, mais qu'elle se termine là où elle rencontre les nouveaux joints. Voir la photo supplémentaire pour un exemple.

Good kit

This kit it good and I recommend. Install was pretty easy and smooth. The only bummer is the fitment against the door frame where the upper channel meets the inner & outer scrapers isn't as snug as my originals. I think the chrome strip, deleted with this kit, helped keep all that tight against the door frame. Might not a big deal elsewhere but here in the PNW, it's often quite wet. Also, the length you need to cut the new upper channel is not that same length as the old channel as mentioned in the (very helpful) 'how to' video.

Great

Installation was quite easy, following the video, but you have to cut at the right place to have a perfect fit.

I was afraid to regret chopping the chrome trim, but in the end, it looks better with the new seal all clean, even without the trim. It even corrected an annoying whistling sound on the driver window. The windows were floppy before, now they're solidly fitted. So yeah, I recommend.

Photos are before/after.

Big difference less air leaks

Fits great! I have a 82 Vanagon! Have to cut a little material for the top of the window seal for mine to fit but if you’re crafty you won’t have any problems! Took less than 30min per side!

Good fit

Perfect

Easy to install and works great. Makes a huge difference.

Seal Kit for Front Roll-Up Windows [Vanagon] Right (Passenger)

Got all my windows tinted so while its apart refresh your rubber! this is a great , high quality item. thanks to GoWesty for making these available. R/Jeff

Drivers side seal

looks and fits great. Didn’t know what kind of glue to use for the nubbin off the wing window, but found super glue did the trick. Hopefully it holds.

Complete set of window seals + engine compartment lid seal + upgraded window cranks

Had seals replaced and installed the new window cranks. So far, so good. Transaction was smooth as usual with GoWesty. The window crank had missing parts. Replacement was shipped to wrong address (not GoWesty's fault). They reshipped for a second time and it arrived very quickly right before I needed to leave town.

Fresh look

Easy replacement that works great!

bent during install

I'm not sure if these are different from the ones I've used in the past, but the window scraper bent during installation. This is nothing I've experienced in the past. Now I have to order a new one because it will not sit properly even after attempting to return to straight.

exactly what I needed

fixed door

Great seal

Did the trick...!

One step closer to new

This really made my car look fresh. I went from cracked rubber, and noisy windows rattling in the wind to new windows.

Great product

These installed quickly and made my front doors look so much better

Much better look and functionality.

Watch the video! Watch the video! Watch the video!
This install was ten time easier to do by viewing GoWesty's video. Good fit, looks much better, and I am sure water will a more difficult time entering the
"Window Zone" (spooky voice there)

Front window seals

Super easy to install. Perfect fitment and OEM like quality, if not better. Second set I've used with excellent results. Easy to install WITHOUT removing the window glass.

.

Bad door seals

Very easy to replace my old bad seals. These appear to be very good quality.

Great transaction

Had the wondow seal kit in stock. Received it in a few days. Video instructions made installation a breeze. Seals fit perfect. Should last a lifetime.

👍

Nice and easy to install

After 40 years your window tracks are worn out.

I refreshed both the window tracks (this product) and the vent window rubber at the same time.

The vent window was more involved as you need to remove both windows and the vent frame to change that rubber. But if you’re just changing the roll up window the job is just like the GoWesty video.

Very straightforward.

Perfect and Easy install thanks

I love it . Look very good

Drivers window seal kit.

The kit works great and looks good. The chrome trim is deleted for these seals which is what I wanted. The large seal for the top of the window channel needs some trimming to fit and it’s not the same fit as to the original inside window sweep.

Great OEM quality replacement

Mine were falling apart. Made everything much more quiet while driving

good stuff.

The kits are great. The videos are helpful for installation, however, wasn't as easy as depicted in the video, cutting the long channel around the top by making it the same length as the old one was only a rough estimate and fortunately it resulted in the piece being too long. But I got er' done and it all worked out. Be Patient!!!

Windows look like new

Windows look great and don’t leak

Roll-up window seals

No more water leaks or whistling air! These work great

Quality kit, easy to install

The window seal kit arrived within a few days of ordering. It was packaged/boxed very well. The GoWesty YouTube Video on Installation makes it a breeze. My ‘87 has the metal trim, so like their video shows, I trimmed the metal trim as shown for the triangle window wings. Came out great.

Just what I needed but for a PRICE

Price hikes are over the top, there is no end to the greed. I know it’s a shit sandwich, but don’t tell me it tastes good!

We are genuinely sorry you feel taken advantage of here, James. Yes, there have been price increases, but I can assure you that the margins we run on are doing little more than keeping the doors open over here. There is simply no greedy price-gouging taking place. This is a small volume niche market, and all of us Vanagon parts vendors are working hard to help you keep your rare and collectible van on the road at a somewhat reasonable cost. That said, if you see a better price on a given part, let us know and we'll see if it is possible to price-match. Thank you for your past, and hopefully future business.
