        Jon, for the skylight see  _The Skylight Guy_
(http://www.theskylightguy.com/)  , Trevor has the  best selection and price, double layer is as
original and was for  insulation.   The front door window weatherstripping
is all  renewable.  There are 4 parts.  The inner and outer lower window
seals  which pull up and out are secured by several small clips be careful not
to loose  the clips, new ones are available if some get broken, the outer
seal comes with  and without the chrome moulding groove depending on your
needs, at the vent  window end the seals are glued to the vent window rubber
seal, carefully release  the glued flap, you will need to glue the new one back,
use a Crazy Glue  type glue from Loctite,  the back & top channel which
just pulls  out,and the front channel in the vent window channel which just
pulls out.   The kits I get come from the Bus Depot and are genuine VW parts.

>>>>>>2)  I need a skylight.  There are  now two available, single and
double
layer.  I am on my third  double-layer one, which is now cracked in
numerous places.  I'd  appreciate any specific recommendations as to
replacing it with another  double-layer or single layer skylight.

3)  I need to know how to  remove / replace the weatherstripping around
the windows in the front doors  (the rubber with what appears to be an
embedded aluminum channel.   Mine are shot and needs to be replaced.  Do
these simply snap out, or  does the glass have to be removed?  Bentley
isn't real helpful with  these.<<<<<<<
