My '70 bus rear window-seal is leaking. I saw the water dripping out of the seal on the inside. So I would like to change the window seal. Do I need to put a sealant inside the seal groove (window groove or body groove)? Or should it seal just fine the way it is? Thanks

This whole ordeal has just about sapped my aircooled...

Hi Y'all, I have a idle problem. When I start my 69 beetle, it idles fine. Accelerates with a little bogging but otherwise runs fine. When its at operational temps the idle rpms rise and lower slowly and then eventually the engine cuts off, especially at lights. Any ideas? The engine is a...

I've almost finished restoring a vw roof rack but it has no lock. Any ideas where to get or how to fabricate one? David Hahn

Okay. 1969 bone, stock, standard beetle would start up fine, run well, accelerate well, even up hills. After 10 or so miles, a sort of hesitation would creep in that felt like onset fuel starvation. Checked fuel filter, found rust. Replaced filter. Checked fuel, tank- found rust. Replaced fuel...
