Default car window seals

Does anyone know of a supplier of the rubber seals that car glass

Dave,

Try the main dealer for the car that you have - they should be able
to supply them (probably cost an arm *and* a leg mind). Or try one
of the windscreen replacement companies near to you.


The car I am trying to repair is a Rover 25 and the window is the sun
roof :-((


Last sunroof seal I got was £27. But I suspect the glass ones are all bonded
together, so you want a complete roof.

But, as Dave P said, most leaks are down to blocked drain pipes. The seals
are never perfect. If you can't be doing with fixing that, I'd go down the
mastic / gaffa tape route. There's a cheap non-setting mastic used for
caravans called Carafax IDL 99 which would seal it up but not preclude a
proper repair at a later date.
