I started fitting my new front passenger window on my mk4 polo today and it was all going ok until I put the seal/trim thing back on. I hadn't realised that the bottom of the trim had metal in it and I think I bent it a bit, is it worth trying to bend it back or do I just need a new one?

Anyone :p

Sorry mate i don't know, but if it still looked bent when it was on the car, i personally would have to get a new one

Yea, I think I'm going to have to :( I was just hoping it would bend beck to normal.

try bending it and find out

well yeah lol. i always notice this on mk3's where the windows been out and the seals come off and when its been removed its been prized up making it a curve. when you bend it back its fucked like yours. one of mine was like this and i had to buy a new one. about 15 quid i paid. no idea for a mk4 though.

I'm gonna go to the scrapyard I got my window from to see what condition that ones in all this because some idiot decided to smash my window

its how you take them off. prize them progressively along the whole length of the rubber seal lifting bit by bit.

I got it off fine lol, it got nacked when I tried to put it back on, stupid wing mirror was in the way :p I think it should go on ok as long as I put the metal bit back first.
