Is this wrong.

Post by boxer »

Just thinking about leaky windows. My side windows in the sliding door and behind the kitchen unit. Slide forwards to open. The side windows on the Landrover slide back. Driving through rain in the T25 the water is driven along the fixed glass and against the seal between it and the sliding glass, also against the seal at the rear end of the sliding glass, both of which have to have some tolerance to allow thw glass to slide. On the Landrover the rain would be driven along the sliding glass , away from both moving seals and onto the fixed glass which is better sealed. The landrovers windows don't leak, the T25s do.
Question. Are my windows in the wrong way round?

if you look at your window and on the o/s you will have front to your right, so on this window the right hand pane shoulld be outermost.
basically the front glass of any opener should be the outer one
sounds like yours need swopping.... :lol:

Make sure its not upsidedown, there are drainage holes in the lower channel, if upsidedown then these are obviously at the top so the channel doesn't drain.

Ask me how i know :evil:
