hinge area on pop outs

Post by volksbugusa »

just purchase a set of pop outs for the 66. now i need help with a couple of pictures on how the hinge set up looks. I have all of the mounting hardware -mounting plates ,new pinch,correct screws,just can not get a clear picture in my mind. I am also going to replace the outer rubber...that part is no big deal...I have spent hours looking on samba
plenty of suggestions but no pics...

thank you


cheers

Sorry - My bug is out at the shop right now but I found this on line as far as instructions:

...installation is easy...remove your old windows..slip that funny bracket
over the lip on the front edge and close the window
take a pin..the holes are all predrilled..locate them.....they are small metal screws...close the latch assembly and press it against the side in back..there too the holes are drilled ...use the pin....find em....screw everything in plce....the only thing you may wish to order are the little plastic covers for the front...they cover the screws...

I'll keep searching for some pictures but am not very hopeful. Maybe someone else can jump in with some pictures in the meantime.

The pop out project is now completed. I must say the project went very well. The outer rubber replacement took less then 1 hour.the trick is to use lots of silicone spray and liquid soap. the perfect tool is the bevel square round edge .take a look at the pics.any questions just send an email
