Subject:Re: 87 Westfalia: Rear closet removal?

Someone on the list, about a year ago, posted a way that they removed and
install the window with all the closet stuff in place. It looked doable.
Would cost more for the rubber, of course, but may save time and effort in
the long run. Especially worthwhile if your window rubber needs replacing,
too.
