Spot on Maxstu thanks.
I know the inner panel is less than 1mm, I'm guessing around .8mm so would the outer panel be thicker?

Basically we are heading to France in 12 days so I don't want to take out the windows to replace seals until I have seals to put in. I'm building up to changing the gearbox oil because that hasn't been done in at least 10 years so the less problems I can run into with things like seals etc the better. Maybe I will just get two or three of the most common seals and then return the ones that don't fit?

That's unreal man thank you so much. I was trying to measure the glass today where the seal was split and rejoined and it was looking like either 3 or 4mm.
Appreciate it as always
