Help needed on replacing sliding window seals

Post by mshaw1980 »

Hi all

I have the claytonrite seals to fit the glass and sliding window assembly back into the van but I am struggling with what to buy to rebuild my sliding door windows.

Here are the old ones I took off...

Can anyone tell me what seals they bought and where? There appears to be loads to choose from and different variants so my head is spinning a bit.

Any help appreciated as dying to get this window back in :ok

When I did my sliding window refurbishment, I spent ages searching the internet for suitable materials. In the end I found Hadlow Marine, a boating window specialist. After reading their online catalogue I asked them to send me a couple of samples, one of which fitted exactly.

One of the big problems we all have is that because so many different companies converted vans back in time, they all used different suppliers for their work. Trying to match up now can prove difficult. Hope this helps you move on a bit further with your extensive restoration.
