Double glazed windows

[Dylan79]

Hi guys

I need to replace the window rubbers, I've got double glazed windows and I think they are different from flat glass window rubbers. Can anyone point me in the right direction please

I'm going to need to do It too soon... though unsure of the brand as they're not westfalia...
My other fear is how to get them out and refitted again when I'm fairly confident they'll be unite brittle after 20 odd years in the sunlight.

Any advice would be welcome!

Just changed our acrylic double glazed rear window. Needed to remove it and replace leaking seal, but it was really brittle and the inner pane smashed. New window and seal from Brickwerks and they went in easy as pie - two person job though.

The leaky seal was totally different to the BW one which fitted straight in and appears to be perfect... touch wood!

Thanks I will try brickwerks. Mine is a 1979 westy I hope they do come out with no issues after 37 years.

If they are westy double glaze you use standard factory window seals, if the window seals are going to be replaced for new then just cut them out. Put some stiff plastic ,( body filler spreader is suitable ) under the rubber seal and cut accross, then tear the outer half of the seal off.

thanks bud, the seal on the windows now are flat from the window to the body. Are they the same as glass window seals?
