[Guest Mister Dabsy]

Has your motor had the Schnitzer treatment, or just a couple of badges? What's the spec? BTW, we love piccies !!!

[heath85]

Oh yes, full AC Schnitzer treatment. Just sorting some pics I took a couple of months ago as its in the spray shop at the mo having any slight marks that I've picked up recently removed. How much do you guys know about window seals?

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

I know that the rubber they used in certain years was substandard...

Cheers pal. I'll tell you what it is, the rear windscreen and two rear vent windows seals look very perished. I've been told by somebody that it's not the seals that you can see but just plastic or rubber fillers to lose the gap from the body work to the window? Do you know how true this is?

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

It was the seals, and the rubber compound used... They failed to maintain their shape, causing seepage and internal dampness... This was corrected as you may have read...

There is a fix - Knife along the lower edge of the seal and fill with sealant or screen-bond - both flexible, this will push-out the seals to re-create their purpose...

Or better still, replace them with later model seals...

My quick-fix is cheaper, though... !!!

[heath85]

Brilliant, that's great. I'll give that a try. I'll put some pics of the perishing on with the pics of the car if that's ok to see what you think?? Cheers Dabsy

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

Yeah, pics first before you try my kwik-fix eh?

[heath85]

Haha, yeah good shout
