Seal & catch for sliding double glazed window

Hi. I have managed to get a sliding double glazed window for my van but it has no seal or catch. Does anyone know where I can get a new seal from? I looked at the sealsdirect website but can't see the right profile there. Also, would anyone be able to take a pic of their catch so I can see what I ne...

Re: Paint Your Wagon - with a roller!

Well, I know it's not a wagon but it is going to be towed behind one and it is painted with Rustoleum and a roller. Not done any flatting and polishing, just left it as-is (it is a trailer after all :D ). Got all my info on techniques and suppliers from this thread so thanks for your help. http://i1...

Re: leaking rear corners

The skylights on my Joker looked fine but when I took them off you could see that the sealant was no longer sealing. Cleaned up and resealed both with s*kaflex. Also check the rivets at the top of the tailgate opening - they can leak as well.

Re: Damage Barton caravan and Camping

Not many camp sites in Woolacombe are that near the sea. My Bro has stayed at North Morte Farm - not many level spots and it is a fair stroll the the waters edge (and a bugger of a hill back), said he would go again though. If you want walking distance to the beach then the Croyde ones are the best ...

Re: Camping, Portland , Dorset.

You can camp overnight in the car park of the Ferry Bridge pub which is on the RHS just as you start to drive down Chesil Beach from the Weymouth end. £5 a night last time I stopped over.

Re: Khyam Motordome Sleeper - to buy or not to buy???

Bought one last year and was really useful in the soggy weather we had on hols in Devon. Goes up quick and loads of space - we use the sleeping area to put bags, car seats and other cr&p in and sleep in the van. Huge bag though. Fix ours with a pole and clamp (which does not come with the awning...

Re: C & D Refinishers

Thanks Choplee, colour is VW slate blue. Sadly I don't have that nice van anymore but the plan is to get the Westy up to spec, can't face a colour change this time though so it will stay white

C & D Refinishers

Does anyone know if C&D Refinishers in Willenhall are still in business? They are still listed in Yellow Pages but the number comes up unobtainable. Need some paint on my Westy and they did a decent job on my Autohomes a while back. Went from this: http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r96/bodsbus/...
