Changing window seals

Post by rustyundchen »

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience of this? I'd like to try one of the back side windows first because when it rains over time a black residue can be seen running down the white paintwork. I guess the rubber seal is rubbered! I have never taken a window out but just wonder if it's a nightmare and how quick it can be done........ I have read the little article in the wiki but It wasn't that easy to follow.......

Kind regards

Russell.

I can tell you even the new ones leave a streak.

have a word with your local screen fitter from yeller pages and agree a price for fitting.
tell them you'll supply all the rubber.
if you don't fancy it yourself like.

mine cost £80 for all the side windows
