1968 Porsche 912 gets new front and rear glass seals

I replaced the front and rear glass seals. I figure it was worth sharing since other people may be curious as to how this job goes. I did not want to do this, but two of my cars needed new seals. It would have cost nearly $2,000 to have both cars done. A decent savings and one more small skill as an at home mechanic. Hope it helps anyone looking to do this. Other Channels offer more detailed info. I mainly wanted to show this in a quick format. If you are doing this at home for the first time, it will be a challenge. This video is an edit that does not show some of the struggle bus moments. Take care and hope you enjoy this one.
If you own an air-cooled porsche, you'll save yourself a lot of money by doing jobs like these at home.

Awesome! I learned the rope technique when doing the rear quarters and man does that make things go easier 😂

[@user-ym8lt3js7l]

You make it look so easy…nicely done!👍👍

[@michaelgideon6422]

Hours of off camera frustration..just wouldn't be fun for viewers lol

[@ryanh6081]

Thank you! Have a 67 912 that needs this done also....a bit freaked out attempting

[@Hulley29]

Great vid Mike, good to see you on TH-cam!

[@michaelgideon6422]

Thanks Steve! Always appreciate you man

[@SF_Native]

Nice stable! Really need an air cooled in my life.

[@nicholaslerner9329]

Nice job Michael, well done! That was a pretty risky venture to do alone, except for the loving help from the misses l grant, putting it in. Gives us every-dayers a idea..... we can do these things too! Keep up the videos man!😊👍

[@michaelgideon6422]

Thanks Nick!

[@justamar]

The car is certainly looking fresh, hope you are enjoying it! 😎

[@michaelgideon6422]

Thanks! I definitely am

[@jbaet]

Who would say that the 912 would win your heart? Good job, by the way! I think it is kind of dangerous, because you can break the glass in a split second...🙏👏

[@michaelgideon6422]

Who knew! Most underrated Porsche IMO..don't tell anyone

[@Pugelista41]

So... Here's the deal. I LOVE the underdog. I started with James "stradman" back when he had 10,000 subs. I was TOTALLY into the story of his challenges and success'. Now, however, his and many others is all about the new car, the traded car, the upgraded car... It's kinda boring to be honest. So, today, as Im wading through videos on Instagram, I see a compilation video of you and this porche. Welp, aside from your relatively new editing education, Im in. Consider me subbed. If you are interested; I would love the next step to be a complete, floor to ceiling, paint job on the car. Use the original color, that's cool, OR... do something new and fun since its going to be your daily driver. Make sure to document the entire process. I love it. great job!

[@ezramorency7422]

Nice job!

[@blastgast5065]

I saw your video in Instagram and immediately subscribed. I love what you doing and keep going!

[@lmathias08]

Great content! Cheers from Brazil!

My local Porsche dealer did the windscreen installation on my -85 911 as it was an insurance job. Boy did they struggle.... The rubber creeps back in the corners 😢

[@michaelgideon6422]

The corners can be a challenge. The front gave me no issue, though

[@MacGyver1908]

Love your work and videos! Hope you will make a lot more! Ps. Now I want to sell mine Taycan and buy an old 911😅

[@josuevelazquez5465]

2 porsche in you garage 😎

[@calmendola4195]

Love watching the vids dude you’re awesome!

[@michaelgideon6422]

Don't make me blush now..thanks dude

[@MrColdwatercanyon]

Slick

[@trisharob]

surprised you don't remove the metal trim first and then cut the seal away.

[@michaelgideon6422]

That may be the better way
