Cost from bus depot was 88.00 dollars for molding for the entire van, that's the front window, rear window, and all four side windows. I spaced the project out over a whole summer, doing a window at a time when I had the chance. I probably put 3 or 4 hours into it. It was a bitch, but I got it done eventually, and was quite proud of my work. The first two windows I did were really the hardest. By the time I got to the front windshield, the process only took me about 20 minutes. How many times did I swear? Quite a few, especially when I stuck the soap covered screwdriver I was using to pry open the rubber groove, into my hand. I wasn't aware of tool that could be used, but I sure wished I had one! Anyhow, I think the van looks great now. It really stands out around here. Very very few vanagons exist in these parts, and even fewer have fresh spiffy chrome moulding. Is it a pain? yes. Is it worth it? for me, yes. Greg 82 westy.
