Window rubber seals

Postby smiles » Sun Mar 26, 2006 10:04 pm

The roof rubber that the window slides up to, is it supposed to be one complete piece? Mine look like it's a combination of three pieces and at the joins it occasionally leaks water from.

Anyone else have this, or can I get it replaced for the one complete seal?

If you mean the rubbers at the top of the roof window openings.................aaaah.........they are in three pieces so the roof can fold :? . Try some Vaseline to help water proof where they join when the roof is up.

You can adjust each rubber seal laterally, which should fix most leaks. They are held in by screws.
