[T3] popouts on a '73

[Phil Hof]

Did you weld in nuts or use rivet nuts to hold the rear edges of the latches?  On my ’71 the holes were there but there were no threaded plates or nuts, and so the screws couldn’t hold against the glass force.  I had assumed all those late bodies with the flow-through ventilation lacked the nuts.  How did you attach yours?

When I first received the windows they didn't have the aluminum trim but instead had these metal caps where the seal splits. I bought a set of the VW ISP West seals when they first started making them but didn't have the best time installing them. This time around I used a new set of seals all around (including the popouts) and the guy who installed them found the trim channel in the seal and installed the standard Fasty rear quarter window trim in there. I love the way it looks and the fact that I don't have to use those metal caps. IMO the best part is that windows-down turbulence is dramatically decreased when the pop-outs are open...plus, I love the fact that the glass actually bends :-)
