Leaking window seals
by chris bailey Sun Aug 18, 2019 7:00 am
Hi, I have used the search facility, but had no luck.
I have recently purchased a 1999 Topaz, and with the recent 'English summer weather' have noticed water leaking in around the high top window seals. Closer inspection has revealed holes in perished rubber.
Could anyone advise where I can purchase replacement rubber seals ?
Thanks, Chris.

No, these open, they are the top-hinged windows.

Are they made by ParaPress? If so, seals are quite easy to get, though there are a number of products with closely similar dimensions.
I tend to buy seals from Woolies as it's a long-established family run firm, but there are other suppliers such as Seals Direct.

No problem, but be warned that when I replaced mine a few years back, the newer ones were a slightly deeper profile (only very slightly) and they take a while to flatten down - so for the first few times, be careful when shutting them or you risk breaking the handles - which you will regret, as I don't think you can get replacements now! The first time after replacement I had to shut them in stages...
