Sliding window seal

[mk1]

Glad you got it sorted.

Have you had a new door skin on that door?

[whitewithblackroof]

Yes i would say it has and not quite the right position vertically, I am happier now though that the channels should be protected and sealed and the rest I can accept as BMC tolerance

All back in now with the body caulking from woolies and clear waxoyl in the drain below the channel, slightly higher but I cant raise it anymore otherwise the trim doesn't fit within the window frame because of the angle at the front....hopefully and more importantly now leak free

exactly that stuff

That's an expensive way of buying it. It's a 3M product. Very good. But much cheaper to buy from 3M. I think I bought a box of 60 strips for about £20.00. 3M reference is 3M 08568 Of course 60 strips is more than many will need but it is a very useful product with a very long shelf life.

Both doors used about half a pack for information

Personally, I'd never use that old fashioned non setting stuff.

There are much better modern alternatives available.

That white dog shit (a technical term used within the electrical industry) is fine if you are wanting to be 100% authentic, but my personal weapon of choice at the moment is CT1.

Wow impressed with the CT1 sealant. Where should I be putting this? Along the horizontal chrome strip? Where else? Really need a how to with this. The descrption in the Haynes restoration manual leads a lot to be desired!

Thanks

I just put a blob under each little plinth in the door where the screws go & then run a bead between the chrome channel & the door.

I always keep a tube of grey & a tube of Black, as long as you keep the top on it stays fresh unlike Silicone type sealants.

CT1 is great gear cannot shout more about it I use it everywhere mind you prices vary around here from £8.99- £13.99

We sell the stuff & it's bloody expensive to buy!

[floormanager]

Well, that's two votes for CT1. Guess I'll make it three. Thank you for the tips all

I have a question re the location of the window guide, should it go against the chrome trim or under the chrome trim?
<sorted by mf>
If I push the rubber window guide UNDER the chrome, the window catches the chrome and sounds awful!
If I leave the rubber window guide, the window becomes a bit stiffer to slide.

It should line up with the edge, so it's just not touching.

The way windows go together was never the MK1 & 2's strong point.

& yes, they sound terrible if you get them too far it.
