how to replace window seals on front quarter windows

Hi,

I need to replace the rubber seal around the pop out quarter windows
on my 1970 beetle. Read somewhere that you should be able to push
out all windows from the inside just by pushing from the inside
(including pop out quarter ones) Is this true? Don't want to break
the glass obviously. Any tips for getting the seal on and the window
back in would be good too!

Thanks

Matt

Matt,
I just replace my stationary quarter windows with popout windows. The
popouts have a hinge that is screwed onto the body.
Heres a couple of pictures:

I think he's looking for info on the vent windows. On my bus, you have to
take off the nut that is inside the door and then it will lift off. Not sure
that the bugs work the same way though.

On the type 3,s ( if I recall correctly Type 1,s are the same) there is a
Philip Head screw on top of the door that secures the top of Vent to the
door frame
and a screw on the bottom that needs removal of door trim to get at. You
then tilt the vent frame backwards from the top
and wriggle the thing out. You have to manouvre the vent over a metal stay
that goes from the inner to the outer door. After a new paint
putiing it back in will guarantee scratches so I usually get an angle
grinder and cut the damn thing off. Makes it a 100 times easier.
Cheers
