i used super beetle scrapers on mine and it's worked for 8 years now. i don't know, maybe bus ones are better. i just: take the chrome piece out with the old scrapers being careful to not bend it. remove old rubber by carefully drilling out just enough of the rivets to remove the rubber. cut bug scrapers to match shape of t-3 ones. i didn't just cut the to length, i "stepped" the flat part so that it would press against the vent window frame, like the t-3 ones. go to the hw store and get some rivets, whatever kind you like. if you use pop rivets, you should probably pound them flat after. i think i used the ones that ahve two arms you just bend out and pound flat. be sure to use the old metal backing as a support piece, just like it is originally. put them back in without bending the chrome or scratching anything. this was 8 years ago, when i was 16, so my memory is a bit hazy. let me know if you need any more help. ----------------------------------------------------- dan hoopes would you guys ever drive your cars 2,750 miles? well, i rode my bike that far this summer for EB Kids. see www.ebtrek.org ----------------------------------------------------- Maybe someone who has had success fixing the scrapers >could make up a set of directions on what to buy and how to go about >making the repair.
