Default car window seals

Try the main dealer for the car that you have - they should be able to

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


Well I can get such bits for my 25 year old SD1 Rover from the specialist
- have you looked to see if there is one for your model?


I have done a google, but the model is too new to be a specialist car.

Other thing is
sunroofs are often shared by other makes - and maybe a more recent
model who's maker still supplies spares. Honda would be one obvious
one.


I'll look further into that, thanks.

Presumably the glass fits into a metal frame and it's that seal that's
leaking? Often when sunroofs start leaking it's because the tray
underneath which catches the water that gets past the main seal has rotted
through or its drains aren't working properly.


As I wrote earlier, the car is 266 miles away and our daughter has a
tendency to fiddle with things, so I don't even know if the window has
been set into the mechanism correctly :-(
