Join us on an exciting journey as we tackle the ultimate windshield challenge! In this episode of Vangabonders, we dive headfirst into the intricacies of fitting a windshield onto our extensively restored 1973 VW Bus. With a roof swap and nose replacement under our belt, the big question is, will it fit? Discover the ups, downs, and invaluable lessons learned during this nerve-wracking installation process.
But that's not all! Stick around for the second half of the video as we lend a helping hand to our friend "Russ With The Bus" and his 1978 VW Bus. Armed with the wisdom gained from our own windshield adventure, we take you through the steps of a flawless installation to get Russ back on the road with a crystal-clear view.

    Grab a caulking cartridge nozzle and put the rope through it then run it along the rubber seal, works a treat ;)

    Loved the content. we did a roof because of the front cargo tray of my riviera had accumulated trash and rusted thru to the door track. To keep the dimensions, we cut plywood squares in to three windows to set the height for the grafted roof. worked good.

    I am in the lead up to a windshield install right now. I had no idea starting on the side was a thing! All the previous glass I've installed is flat glass and I usually start at the top or bottom. This curved bay windshield is a new challenge. Thanks for the tips!

    If you’ve installed any glass before you should have an easy time. It really wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Good luck 👍

    Best way to experiment putting in any window is by using the damaged original first. Now your experienced. First time for everything. Keep up the great work on the restoration of your VW bus

    Being in AutoGlass for 15 years. This was painful. I wanted to help so bad. As for your helper, always tap the glass behind the rope. Not in front where the flexing is happening. Nonetheless, awesome job. It’s all about the journey and having the balls to take on stuff on your own. Hope this comment helps the algorithm. Lol.

    my bus got hit with a golf ball on the highway, removed the factory windshield and got a fuyao to replace, have heard horror stories about the fitment and possibly needing the glass shaved, hope its a rare problem, praying that after i paint the repaired lip area i worked on that she goes in and doesn't crack!!!!!!
