Window Rubbers

Recommended Posts

I have just purchased a 45pound strip of rubber that runs where the glass meets the door. ( the bit that stops the water getting in) And for the life of me i cant get the thing to stay on. I can get it sat in the right place but everytime I put the window back up again It brings the rubber with it.

 

Is there a secret method I dont know about? Could it be the wrong part number, would i have to take the glass out to get it to fit it properly?? Am i a ham fisted ignoramus? Or is there a thread on this somewhere that i cant find.

 

Any help appreciated. Cheers

Yes they're a git those strips....

 

Once you've positioned it, start at the mirror end and tap it hard all the way along with a piece of wood (not directly with a hammer) and it should spread out and grip the door skin. Do it with the glass fully up.

 

Don't use any lube either and make sure the paintwork is spotlessly clean.

Nice one. I had been trying to get it on from the other side as i could see a lip that seemed the right size, with the window down, and with my own fair hands. Am going to go give it a go now.

 

LOL
