Replacing Window Seals - Birmingham Area

Post by Tilly1 »

Hi All hope somebody can help!

We are looking for somebody/a company in and around the Birmingham/West Midlands area that can fit and replace some window seals. We have T25 1989 High top with four windows leaking, can anybody recommend somebody to us - would really appreciate any suggestions.

Many thanks

Hi Tilly,
The problem you have is, if the metal is rusted under the seals then it may need repairing or it could still leak.
If you find someone that will just be doing the seals be prepared to consider fixing the rusted area too.
Fingers crossed its just old worn seals.
Regards, Jon.

If you meant the 4 side windows, then new rubbers and inserts can be bought from member Metalmicky on this site, for a fair price. You'd still need to sort thr rust out first, and have someone fit the new rubber though.

They are for the side windows and Tilly1 says there's no rust. They are after both the seals and someone to fit them......

and it's a Leisuredrive
