Some advice needed please!

I'm looking at fitting my door windows this weekend, but I dont have any seals at all.

I have the glass, the main steel surround, and the chrome strip that screws along the top of the door, but nowt else.

Could you let me know what I need in the way of seals etc?

And any glues/sealant etc that I might need?

Thanks

Have a look here.

One of these is what you need. I can't remember which one I used but I was fitting Perspex anyway. Just measure the thickness of the glass and choose the most suitable.

Thanks John,

I'm pretty sure mine will be the thinner option.

Is there anything else i'll need? I can't see exactly how this rubber will seat snugly into the chrome section?

Me neither, does anyone have any c/u pics of this area, I can't remember accurately enough what it should look like?

The one I used fitted straight into the stainless steel bottom channel on my car.

I have the same double track in the stainless part and then on the frame i use a flexible version exactlly the same as used on mini sliding windows as it will form to the curvature of the frame

I used this

It's actually Minimenders in Bolton so I could collect on the way home one day. It just pushes into the stainless channel the same as it does into the upper channel. I haven't used any glue or sealant on it. You should project the drainage holes in the metal channel through the rubber seal.

To go between the door "skin" and the metal channel I used Europa's "Rigid Waste Seal" - it's smaller than what was on my car when I got it but looks nice and does the job.

Did you use it all the way around the door, or just on the sliding part ?

Comes down to buying 2x1m or more.

It appears it's all the way around - the link above gives enough for both doors, and is a lot cheaper than the trim shops. (Just waiting for mine to come thru the post).

Yep - it's the same in both parts upper and lower but in two seperate parts. Minimenders sells it by the metre so you can just replace the bottom part if the uppers are good.

Is it me or does this sound wrong

1m of seal is £2.60 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MINI-WINDOW-SEAL-TWIN-CHANNEL-FLOCKED_W0QQitemZ370059711920QQihZ024QQcategoryZ43122QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem postage is £1

5m of seal is £17.50 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=370060414284&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=024 with £5.00 postage

7m of seal is £24.50 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MINI-WINDOW-SEAL-TWIN-CHANNEL-7-mtrs-FLOCKED_W0QQitemZ370059701240QQihZ024QQcategoryZ43122QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem postage is £6.00

Now 5x£2.60 = £13, total of £18.00 not £22.50 and 7x£2.60 = £18.20 total £25.70, not £30.50 with postage.

Anyway measured the windows and you only need 5 meters of the stuff

Hmmmm, the 1m lengths might be offcuts???

And it's £9.49 per metre at woolies, so I think we should let them off.
