That's the trouble with being a Motor Trimmer by trade we just can't help ourselves , I will admit that I spent a huge amount of time fabricating the trims at the top and bottom of the windows they were made from aluminium . The side trims are made from ply and then covered its amazing what the vinyl will cover up !! . My main aim was to make it clean and most important quiet a lot of time was spent with sound deadener material to block out road noise etc. I also fitted a new gear boot with black leather and red stitching also leather wraps around the door pulls with red stitching and last one the steering wheel with black leather and red stitching . Thanks for the compliments guys .Last edited by Sunny43.5; 21-04-2013, 10:47 PM.

I managed to upload the original external shots just now , bloody Photo Bucket and their greedy grab for money . I fitted the side glass myself as I fit sunroofs so the windows were easy for me .Whatever you do do NOT buy the genuine VW ones "OUCH "$$$$ , when I did mine I was able to purchase all four fixed glass panels for the same price as ONE VW glass !! You need to cut out the metal and then prime the cut edge to reduce any risk of rust , they supply a primer for the sealant and then apply the sealant to the glass place it into position and the press firmly to get good contact all around and then use strips of masking tape to hold the glass in position for a few hours as the sealant dries fast .

I've watched them fit many windows to my T4 and T5, so I'm confident in doing that.............never cut the metal hole before.

Well I use what is described as very high tech tin opener, it slices the steel rather than other methods. Its a Bosch Shear and like I said it slices the steel and you dont get any filings or rough edges . You could use a nibbler or next worse a jig saw with a metal cutting blade, if you use a jig saw just make sure you clean up all filings so they dont go rusty . TheKiwi could you send me a PM for the price .
