Westy poptop luggage rack seal

Post by badgerfax »

Need to replace the seal, I was given this one with the van:

This does not seem the same as the old crusty rubber one that i've pulled off & is very hard material. The previous one rubbed a hole through the paint.

I see Brickwerks do one but Don't want to fork out £50 to find the its the same type.

Would be good to know if anyone has used the JK one or could point me in the direction of a decent seal

Cheers

I fitted the JK one years ago, it was rubbish. Allows air under the rack at any speed causing horrible wind noise. It is nowhere near the right profile. I had one from Herr Günzl and it is perfect though a little awkward to get round the corners. It is about 50 Euros. I expect Brickwerks to have the same one, I don't think Mr Baxter would sell you anything that wasn't right for the job.

Thanks scoobert, had a feeling that the Jk one was not going to be right.

Looks like I'll be placing an order with Simon.

Ours look nothing like that.
Ours are quite soft and have a couple of extra flaps.
Just looking at the price to see if we can make it a little more "enticing"

I need to replace pop top & luggage rack seals, would you do a special price to order both together?

If I ordered today would it arrive in East Yorkshire for Friday?

As the website says, our cut off time is lunch time.
We have a little more grace with UPS as they collect a little later.
If it's in stock [and the webshop is usually correct] then if you were to order Tuesday after the cut off then it would ship Wednesday and hopefully be delivered Thursday.

As you know our prices are usually competitive anyway, price has already come down. :wink:
