Glass Seals

[Kazumz]

I need to replace my rubber seals for the window. Is it an easy job to do and is this the item I need?

Try to leave the doors open for a while after you put the new seals in. I didn't and on one side it came off.

As the others have said a nice easy job. Just make sure you clean out all of the old glue etc. Use an old credit or store card to push the new one in.

We took my Girlfriends Fiesta back to Wales on the 24th and came back today. My 200 has been sitting on the drive so unfortunately not! I usually do a massive amount of traveling in the 200 so I'm surprised it wasn't. I live in the Chippenham/Melksham area but do a lot of travelling back to the home town in S.Wales .

We're travelling back to Wales tomorrow for New Years drinks in the 200 so if you see me, message me!

I don't think I have access as I'm not a member anymore! Just haven't got around to renewing it lol. Funnily enough, I ordered a ball joint from KTEC and they phoned me to check if I was a forum member, had to say no. Could have saved £££ so I'll do it in a bit.

I've just paid for a year, so should be able to see a guide. Thanks for your help everyone.

Must be another 200 Gordini knocking about your way. Also saw a white 200 on the A419 up Swindon East.

Very easy job to do Kazumz , the old adhesive is a pain to get off but like it's been said before make sure you get it all off, I used a de natured alcohol as I use that for work but Autoglym tar and adhesive remover will work and remember to take some pic's of [MENTION=41063]Pav[/MENTION] will start crying lol.

Very easy mate, 10 min job to remove and replace!

 

[Kazumz]

Thanks all.

I know it's an easy job, but like with the scuttle panel clean, I just needed to receive a bit of confidence lol!

I used Tardis first, then cleaned it thoroughly with ipa wipes (medical swabs)

as said easy enough just make sure the old sticky foam is removed and the area cleaned/degreased as such - and take your time fitting the new seals
