Subject:Temporary fix for rusthole under window?
From:Jens Jakob Andersen

Hi

The latest bus,
http://www.zorck.dk/cara3/
have some holes under the windows, below the rubber.

Small holes -4-5 mm across (yet).

I know that proper fix is remove window, weld, replace window.,

What are the best ways to intemediate fix?

It will have to work for some months.

Remove rust the best I can.
Rustproofing, Tectyle or Dinitrol.
Silicone to make it watertight

was my plan.

Any other suggestions?

Long term plan:
* Remove windows on blue van (train in removing windows).
* Cut out parts of the windowframe, for the welder to work with on
the yellow one.

Happy driVWing
