Rubber Seal
azz - March 27th, 2003 at 07:13 AM

I am about to replace my window rubber and I have put the new seal around the window glass and its a bit loose- meaning it has a little give- Is this alright or should it fit tightly around the glass- I havent tried to fit it in yet

No it should be a snug fit not loose... you might have the wrong seal...

What car and year model n what window ???

Cal or origional with trim... where did you get the new rubber from ???

well i got the window and the rubber sent up from vvd in sydney- so they should have it right! It was to replace the existing window and 1/4 vent behind the drivers seat in my kombi. The old 1/4 vent is had it and I had organized to replace it with solid glass. I will call them.
I think they only sell the best brand rubber anyway-- wc? or something like that

I have called the suppliers of the glass and rubber and they said that too many people were having trouble putting the glass in, so they made it slightly smaller but it still should go in ok
Wish me luck
