Sliding door rubber seal

Post by Space_Monkey »

Water is able to get in near my sliding door and I suspect the rubber seal may need replacing.

Does anyone know if

1. Is this a fairly straightforward job?
2. The best place to buy a replacement seal from? (as I am not sure about the quality of stuff from JustKampers).

Thanks

Fairly straitforward. You'll be best to get someone to hold the door while you undo the top and bottom connections, and make a mark on the bracket so you can get it to fit back as it was.

As for buying one, go to A H Schofield.

if you lift the door off after taking the door track cover off (2 phillip scews) you wont change the adjustment on the door.

Ordered door seal today from Schofields - £35 + £3 postage
Out of interest decided to check JustKampers - they are charging £58 + £5 postage
