I have a leaky window and I want to know if anybody knows where to get new window seals done at a good price and if they attach chrome or not?

you can get 5 piece kits off Ebay for about $150. they have new front and rear windows, the boot and both side top rubbers that attach to the body.

I have never done seals before. I want to get them professionally done so it doesn't leak. Plus the real seals need redoing as well. I need to get it water proof as I need it because my daily driver is about to loose a very important bearing

The side rubbers just push in to a channel peice thats attached to the chrome strip very easy to fit yourself. the windows front and back are a lot harder and i would get a windscreen place to do it.

You can get them from Bobs discounts (Rare spares) main road Moonah, they are expensive. You could try Purple Pig on Lampton Ave but they wont have the shaped end that the originals have.

Purple pig might not have the right one. you will need to take a sample in with you to compare with there samples. I will come on a roll and you will need to no how much you want. If they do have the right one, then you will have to cut the ends off your old rubbers and glue them to the new rubbers so you can mount them to your car. Thats if your end are any good that is.

What rubber are you talking about the one that runs along the top of the sid ewindows, or the one the goes between the side windows and is attached to the small rear side window? If the rubbers are new it shouldn't leak! but if the window isn't winding all the way up that could be your problem. which means you have to replace guides and adjust your regulators inside your doors.

I bought my front and rear windscreen rubbers off ebay they were (at the time) $110 each i also fitted them myself they aren't too bad to fit up just have to take your time and use the old rope trick to drag the rubbers through (don't use a screwdriver you WILL break the glass lol)

Stoney, that wouldn't be that long ago that the windscreen was put in. It shouldn't be leaking.

the back one doesn't leak. the front one leaks like there is no tomorrow. I couldn't find that purple pig you were talking about

Have you tried putting more of the black sealant under the rubber where it's leaking that might fix it.

Post by Stoney on Sept 20, 2013 13:01:16 GMT 10
im lost now lol for starters there was never any sealant put in when i fitted the rubbers and the front one never used to leak maybe it has shrunk in the sun? also if the rear seal isn't leaking why would you put sealant on it?
