Leaks & Weatherseals

[willo]

Ok so it rained last night, and even after replacing the windscreen seal, i still have a puddle forming in my cabin. On the plus side, i noticed this now before i go putting all the interior back in.
I had the windscreen removed and re-installed by a 3rd party when i got my paint and panel done, so i don't know how he re-installed it, but does anyone know the best way to fix the leaks?
Also, i'm about to put in all new weather seals for all 5 doors, I've been told superglue will damage the seals. Does anyone know the best product to use for this? Thanks

Hi mate,
Gotta agree about the wiper pivots as suggested below.  In relation to the glue, speak with an upholsterer.  They use a 'brush on' contact glue and it sticks really, really well.

Also, you can buy the front door rubbers from "Denny's" in Lismore (and other upholsterers sometimes) in a blank length that you can trim to size.  I bought some from them after I stuffed one of the ones I bought from Rare Spares previously.  Same profile and same rubber and cheaper!!!

Cheers

Hey guys, firstly, i took the wiper arms off for painting, but not the grommets, but they are pretty perished. I can see a section of windscreen up the top that has a large gap, wondering if this is just running down through the rubber and seeping out the inside. Will need to wait till next rain to have a look. I'm gonna put the door rubbers in this weekend, so after that i might just spray it with a hose for 20mins and see what happens

My grey is Protec "Graphite" and looks exactly the same as Killrust - Cold galv spray, when its wet, but obviously coldgal dries a lot lighter. Probably not to different to the stratco fencing dark grey come to think of it

yeah good question, I need to get some too.

did you use generic rubbers from "Clark Rubber" or "Fitch the rubber man"?

that is my plan at the moment, unless someone has a source for Bedford rubbers.

When i got my rubbers last, i got them from a guy called STREETERS, at browns plains, i will give them a ring shortly and see if they still carry them. All up i paid something like $300 odd for 3 doors and windscreen. Let you know how i go.

Hey Arron, watch the council buddy, they may cringe at you running your hose for that long on the beddy.

Hi guys, Denny's upholsterers in Lismore NSW. Abt $30 per door in a continous roll that you cut to size.  Dunno about postage but if I can help anyone out let me know lengths etc and i'll see if i can get you an exact price.
i'm without computer access for most of next week though so don't hang around waiting for me to respond for about a fortnight.  Denny's also have a web page if you wanted to contact them direct.
