Glass draught problem

Post by Sp2128 »

Hey,how are things?

I recently became the proud owner of a 1985 t3 camping!!

The problem I am having is finding the spacer things?
There is a slotted glass window a over the cooker and and there was a white rubber spacer stopping the draught coming in but they are rotten and need to be replaced.

Does anyone know where I can get replacement ones or even better clear ones.

I added a pic so you can see what I mean.there is the remains of one on the window

:ok welcome.

Your spacers might be add ons because I had louvres on my holdsworth villa and they were not there. Could be that your hinges have lost their friction ability so a previous owner did that to allow some night ventilation?

None here either.
Perhaps your mechanism needs removing and some restorative treatment.
It's simple enough to remove.
My panes touch when closed due to the clamping effect.
If there is something stopping that then they will be open enough for a draught

I doubt that you'll eliminate draughts entirely so be lenient!
