Rattling back window in you 914? No worries! We fixed ours for less than $20 and we filmed the whole process. So be sure to watch our guide and get yours fixed!
The video was useful, thanks. Im in the UK and used Black Arboseal GZ Butyl Glazing Tape, 10mm x 3mm from Dortech Direct, seems to be ok although 4mm thick might be better.
Thanks for a solid video on the process. Sounds like your old seal was a dried out as mine is, but I’m still assuming a good cleaning is needed. What product would you recommend? Tangential question: what year is this 914? Mine is ‘74 and I’m trying to decide whether to add some non-OEM soundproofing back there.
Thanks for taking the trouble of making the video. As mentioned below, it would have been interesting to see the full procedure, including the glass installation. I am about to do my rear window but decided to remove the seats then the back triml panel to make access so much easier.
Also be careful on the target top clamps located on the rollbar, they tend to want to come loose… and for convenience, just remove the seats to access the back pad, very easy to do makes for an easier job more to follow after I have experienced this project myself
That's a problem area on lots of these, but this one is solid in there. It sat in a garage for 20 years in Idaho, so I think the heat made that gasket dry out. We still need to pull the firewall pad out and check behind it though, as they can rust where the firewall meets the floor pan.
