AutoSleeper Hi-top Front Seal

[Red64]

Hi,

The front seal on my 1989 AutoSleeper Hi-top is in need of some attention. It would appear that the seal is attached directly to the hi-top itself - does this make any sense? Basically, I need to remove the seal, clean all the old sealant away, Vatcan any rust (there doesn't appear to be much) and then give the internals a good dose of waxoyl prior to reapplying the seal (with Tigerseal or similar). Has anyone attempted a similar job and can give me some pointers?

Thanks,
Paul

Hi

I'm going to be trying somethin similar soon on my high top.

Gonna scrape away all the old cracked sealer, vactan like yourself, give it a coat of hammerite, then reseal with sikaflex 412 (bought off eBay). Hopefully that should do it.

Buy it's gonna be a learning curve - never done owt like this before.

Good luck!

When I removed my front seal on my 1985 Auto Sleeper Hi-top I found it to be pop riveted on so had to drill them out, and removed the rubber altogether cleaned up any rust bit and resealed into position
