Volkswagen: Doors/Windows, window latch, vent window


Question
Have to replace the latch for the left vent window of a 72 VW Bus.  I can find the latch online all right, but what additional tools/parts am I going to need to correctly install the latch so the window locks shut?

Answer
Hi John,

Assuming the window rubber (the stuff that the window itself pinches into the frame) is ok,  this is all you need.

Just cut and paste the links.

Have fun,  it's not too bad a job.  You will need to borrow or buy a pop-rivet tool if you don't already have one.
