ok no good tips from me but i  had to replace my sliding window on my
92 eurovan in germany...... paid 600 euro!!! (800usd) luckily the
insurance paid... and this was a cheap place. they claim there is
glueing involved, and vw even claims the window is a structural part
of your frame..... dont know if thats true though....
