Respray and window seals

[Roffy]

Hi all
Planning on giving my 1980 Devon T25 a total respray over winter and may as well replace old leaky windown seals whilst they are out. Any one know of a good source of replacement seals .. and a good repsrayer in the Sth east / london area?
Cheers for all tips

Talk to Chris, he sourced my windscreen seal with chrome insert so can get most if not all seals I think. Very helpful. Always better to get original where possible as they look and fit so much better!

Let us know how you get on.

I was intending but left it too to book any sites as they're all full now i think. Do you know if u can camp anywhere else?

Seals direct are 'near enough' seals though. Great if an item has become obsolete but as many are still available, better to find the right ones if you can as its less hassle fitting. Thats certainly true of the windscreen seal and having fitted both an original and a copy, theres a world of difference, both in fit and the look. If you fit a proper rubber (and VW emporium stock those) it will sit better and is SO easy to fit, you can do it on your own.

After all, chances are this may be the last time your vehicle gets a new windscreen seal so really not worth skimping.
