Hi,
I need to replace my rear window rubber as it leaves black stains all down the back of the tailgate and I have a small leak internally.
It is a 1984 Westie. Where can I get the best rubbers please and are there different variants depending on model year?
Also any tips on getting the rear screen out. I know how to put it in but have never taken a complete one out.
thanks
Chris

The tailgate window rubber is the same for all years, to remove the window make a cut horizontally on the outside of the rubber and tear off the outer portion, put something under the rubber so the knife doesn't cut the paint or window.

Re: Rear Window Rubbers
You can try cleaning the rubber with neat fairy liquid a splash of water and a washing up or nail brush, always worked for me
