louvre window

Hi,

I have just bought a louvre out of a Devon that apparently had factory fitted windows, i was just wondering if they use a standard rubber seal? or there is a special seal for these?

Re: Lost my keys....argggg

One thing to consider is key insurance, i have mine through my JK insurance and it covers any keys that are attcahed to the key ring they provide.

If i loose mine they cover the cost of having all the locks replaced on the van, my house and my car as they are all on one key ring.

:ok
