Symbol ES 04 Cracked Sliding Window.

Parapress sliding window drivers side, cracked at the top and leaking water into the sealed space. 

Perished 'rubber' sliding tracks at the bottom.

Inside the van the plastic window trims are cracking.

The Parapress window specs: B4 Parapress VBX (E1) 43R 001736 PMMA - TX

It occurred to me that they could be replaced with an opening out window?

Hi there,

Sorry, I can't help but I'm sure that others will come to your rescue soon.

In the meantime, especially as we are in "Summer Mode", I think that the first thing to do is to make some kind of temporary repair to stop rainwater getting in.

Duct Tape can usually be used to make the kind of repair you may need.  It won't look very pretty but it will at least stop the rain getting in and give everything a chance to dry out.

Hope this helps. 

Best regards,

Thanks, I agree, duct tape is a great resource for making temporary repairs

Brilliant!!  





PS

Just noticed your "My glass is always half full." .... 

.... of rainwater can I presume? 

I contacted Autosleepers, it's an old van so they really don't want to know. My local dealer Marquis near Southampton are useless. I asked to speak to technical department. That was a joke, she sounded like someone on work experience.

Are any of the following links any good to you?

Owning a 2003 Duetto, on the couple of occasions I have made a query - it has been my experience that AutoSleepers no longer want to know: disappointing.

Thanks for the advice and help. The Camping & Caravan Technical dept have offered advice.
