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

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
