Thats kinda what I was thinking, what about the rubber... you have to put the lower rubber in after the roll up glass (I assume), but what about the rubber at the top?

  When you reinstall the front glass do you put the wing frames in

  electric window switches go, there is a strip of metal that curves
  outward (or really, as far as passengers are concerned, its inward)
  and will do damn good job scratching your roll up glass. There is
  felt above this most jutted out area, but odd that its so miserly
  doesn't cover enough of the area, its just a little square bit of
  felt.

  Had someone install my glass.. either they scratched my paint during
  install of the glass... or the crap place that painted my Vanagon is
  responsible for spraying my vanagon with instantly peeling paint. No
  one should ever use Maaco. The argument, that so-and-so place does a
  good job, better than "other" Maaco's doesn't hold up to reality...
  its a cheap bastards fantasy. Paying them doesn't change this
  fantasy's delusion.

  Bettery to just grab a spray can of paint and vandalize your Vanagon
  before ever considering Maaco. If you have a problem, their solution
  is to hang up on you when calling them. In today's economy
  especially, they need to go out of business.
