Both of my rear windows and tailgate window leak water in very slightly. The rubbers are not split or damaged, just old and original. Am I best getting new rubbers or will sealing them with a sikoflex type sealant work.
If new ones are needed where do you recommend I buy from, because I have been told that there are poor quality ones. Many thanks

We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets.

Re: Rear window rubbers
Thanks guys, need to take the rear window out anyway to make sure there is no rust starting. Never done this before, fingers crossed

Dont wast your money on new ones the originals last a long time even in hot climates, take them out sort out the rust and put them back in with a bit of flexible windscreen sealer.

I'd advise you to wear some disposable gloves, filthy stuff to get on your hands and then on everything else
