Worst job I have ever done on a 911, I don’t have any tips sorry as I am sure there are better ways to do it than I did (took forever), just a message of support, I feel your pain.

Cheers,
Harry.

Hot bath, climb in with your window, keep the rubber hot and soft, soap for lube, and a plastic window stick to work the lip in 1/8" at a time.

And if that doesn’t get it warm enough you’re welcome to work in my garage anytime between April and October

One complete and half of the remaining hinge side on ,cup of tea then try and get the other half of it on ����

Assume we are talking about 73 and earlier vent windows?

I tried 3 different brands of rubber for this and gave up on this job although it's looming in the near future as something that will need to get done.

My memory is a bit faint on it, I remember it being nearly impossible and when the rubber was stuck in the frame all around I still couldn't get it to stay in at the straight side. Very frustrating.

What brand of rubber seals are you guys using? I see Dansk is making them now so I think I'll try a pair of those next.

Did this last year on my 2002. Same type of rear window. John Walker is correct. The plastic 'window stick' is a must, but so is Dawn Liquid as your lube.

Thank goodness a (younger) friend of mine came over to help. It's murder on your (my old) hands and fingers and having 2 people helped. It takes considerable strength to push it into place.

I'd place reinstalling the windshield(s) as a worse job.
