Leaking cab window seal

Post by islandboy »

Had the hose on the passenger door to try and trace an annoying leak. Noticed water was coming in around the window seal(s). It was by the door lock and running down the outside of the door card, collecting by the passenger seat and eventually to the main floor.
What seals will I need to replace and is it straightforward job ? I couldn't find anything on the wiki or in other posts. I understand there is a forum member who can supply seals at reasonable rates.
Van is t25 1986 registered as a Caravelle.
Any help appreciated

Brickwerks

They sell the L shaped U channel half the price of everywhere else

And they also sell the j shaped scrapers

However if I was you I would remove the L shaped seal then refit it to close up the gap. If you have a small gap by the quarter light that's not as bad because water will find it hard to get in at the point.

Many thanks for the links. I just need some idea on taking old ones out and how to put in new.
